Submissions

Due to the large volume of submissions, we'd ask that authors please specify if they'd like feedback on their rejected submission, or if they'd prefer only to be notified with a yes/no decision. We will supply feedback to all authors who request it, but it will take a little longer.

Authors seeking to publish in Clarion do not need to have any affiliation with Boston University. The editors will read simultaneous submissions, and ask only that authors adhere to common-sense etiquette in notifying them promptly of acceptance elsewhere.

Works of poetry, prose, and verse may be submitted via our Submishmash account. Hard-copy submissions may be sent to the magazine mailbox at the Student Activities Office, One University Road, Boston Massachusetts 02215, attn: BU Literary Society. Please include an e-mail and street contact address with your submission. If you're supplying your e-mail address, there is no need to include a SASE.

Submissions may be of any length or genre. Translations into English may be submitted, provided the translator has secured reproduction rights. Contributors are compensated with two copies of the issue in which their text appears, and a 40% discount on up to 6 additional copies.

Clarion is published at least annually, with some years of double publication. Response time varies, but should not in any case be longer than two months. Please ask about your submission if you have any concerns.
