CERISE PRESS

Cerise Press is open year-round to submissions in photography, art, fiction, and poetry, including translations in French, Chinese, and Spanish. (For other languages, kindly inquire first.)

If you are interested in submitting essays, interviews, or in proposing other projects, please query editors@cerisepress.com with a cover letter including a brief synopsis, as well as the first 1-2 pages of the work.

If you are interested in reviewing or sending a book, please visit our Books for Review page.

We publish 3 issues per year. Our Summer 2011 issue is forthcoming in July. We are currently reading for the Fall/Winter 2011-12 and Spring 2012 issues.

All work accepted will be considered for future print anthologies. We accept unpublished pieces, and on very rare occasions, previously published ones.

At the moment, we are not able to offer payment. We read and consider each submission with care and integrity. Although it may take up to 2-3 months for us to reach an editorial decision, we’ll do our best to respond promptly to submissions and to general correspondence. After 3 months, please feel free to query.

Submissions
Include a cover letter with a brief biographical note, listing any recent publications you may want to mention, your name and contact information.
Submit 3-5 poems as a .doc or .pdf.
Submit 1 story (1-15 pages) as a .doc or .pdf.
Submit 4-6 photographs and/or 2-5 works of art as .jpegs. Please indicate any additional links/gallery websites for our reference.
Translations should be accompanied with the original texts, brief biographical notes for the author(s) and the translator(s), and a statement of the author’s or literary agent’s permission and approval.
E-mail submissions to submissions@cerisepress.com.
We strongly prefer e-mail submissions. For postal submissions, please include
a self-addressed stamped envelope or an e-mail address for a response.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please notify us at editors@cerisepress.com immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. Please do not send another submission until we have responded to the first one, and please do not submit more than twice per year.

We look forward to reading your work!
