Potomac Review, based in Rockville, Maryland, is a peer-reviewed literary magazine with a global audience.

Rooted in the nation’s capital’s suburbs, Potomac Review is the antidote to the scripted republic that surrounds it. By taking on D.C.’s values of international inclusion, Potomac Review looks out into the world from its lush Potomac River basin, collecting and absorbing the world’s literary diversity. Potomac Review seeks literature from emerging as well as established writers around the globe to facilitate in the literary conversation.


Potomac Review

Please send us up to five poems per poetry submission.     If any of your poems have been accepted elsewhere, please leave a note in your submission specifying which were selected for publication, and we'll consider the remaining poems. 
Thank you. We look forward to reading your work.

Poetry

There are no specific word limits for nonfiction submissions, though like everyone else, we are constrained by page counts, and the longer a piece of work, the more difficult it is to find room for it. However, we've never not been able to publish something we love.   Please note that we do not publish academic essays; we're interested solely in creative nonfiction.   We only ask that you send one submission at a time (no multiple submissions), and that you withdraw your submission if it has been accepted elsewhere.  .
Thank you! We look forward to reading your work.

Nonfiction

While we don't have specific word limits for fiction submissions, we are, like everyone else, constrained by final page counts. The longer the work, the more difficult it is to find room for it; on the other hand, we've never turned down something we loved. We only ask that you withdraw your submission if it has been accepted elsewhere. And please, only send us one submission at a time. Thank you.
