The Heartland Review is a biannual digest-sized journal published with funding from the Kentucky Community & Technical College System. We seek previously unpublished, original fiction, poetry, and artwork. Submissions will be recycled. Compact Discs will be disposed of. THR takes no responsibility for damaged work.
Submit up to seven pieces .Artwork must be presented in half tones and signed. (Please include a description of the medium of each piece.) THR submissions are published on natural tone paper. Artwork must have been created in the last six months prior to submission; Artwork must be sent on a Compact Disc, accompanied by “hard copies.” The “best” artwork that depicts an “organic setting” will be awarded the cover; however, we consider any submitted work. From time to time, we will select a single artist’s work for a “focus on the artist” section in our journal.
Writers should submit 1-2, previously unpublished stories. Submissions should be typed and doubled-space. We ask that stories be no longer than 3,500 words, given the journal’s limited space. Name, contact information, a 30-40 word biography, and word count should appear on a cover page. Personal information on any other pages of the manuscript will automatically disqualify submission.
Poets should submit 3-5 previously unpublished poems. Submissions should be typed. We ask that poems be no longer than 750 words. Be mindful of lines that might be compromised because of their length. Name, contact information, a 30-40 word biography, and word count should appear on a cover page. Personal information on any other pages of the manuscript(s) will automatically disqualify submission.
