2013 Open Submissions Deadline: April 30
We want your manuscripts! We want to read them, and when we say read, we mean it. At Kore Press, we’ve established a long tradition of close-reading the manuscripts we receive during our Open Submissions period in order to provide honest, thoughtful, useful feedback to you, their creators. As a press dedicated to literary excellence and contemporary writing by women, we know that providing the opportunity for publication is only the first step. Writers need-and deserve-careful consideration of their work.
This is why you owe it to yourself to spend the next couple of weekend revising the words into which you’ve already poured so much of yourself. Don’t worry, we’ve extended the deadline til the end of April. This gives you plenty of time to write, revise, and write some more! The last day we can accept submissions is April 30th and our editorial panel (newly committed to responding to all submissions by end of June) anxiously awaits your work.
“THANK YOU so much for these
spot-on comments.”
