General Guidelines
Barrier Islands Review is a literary magazine specializing in high quality digital media. Tired of the impersonal nature of small reviews, our editor and founder, Rebecca Anne Renner, decided to offer something extra. Here at Barrier Islands Review, we promise to make the work of selection and editing a personal process. We also strive to provide the best quality material to the public.
Take note: We appreciate your submissions to be in Times New Roman font size 12. Any other font will not be read. Fiction should be double spaced, poetry should not. Please left justify your work and make the margins 1 inch on all sides.
Please include no more than three publishing accomplishments in your cover letter. Tell us about you, not your work. Let the work speak for itself.

(pdf, doc, docx, rtf)4000 word limit
Barrier Islands Review is seeking quality fiction 500 to 4,000 words in length. We are looking for character driven stories that grip the reader without delving overtly into sentimentality. Genre fiction has its place, but unfortunately, that place isn't here, though we're not closed to elements of the fantastic. Subject matter will be judged on a case by case basis.

Poetry
(pdf, doc, docx, rtf)Barrier Islands Review is also looking for well-written poetry. As with fiction, we're not looking for sentimentality, but well placed emotion doesn't hurt. Poetry may be on any subject and in any format, but special attention will be paid to traditional and invented forms. However, content should never be sacrificed for form. Submit up to six poems for consideration, up to 100 lines each.
