Orion does not use footnotes. We do our best to make decisions on submissions within two months. Acceptance of a manuscript, or the assignment of a commission, does not guarantee publication. Editors and writers collaborate closely on all revisions and changes of accepted manuscripts. Revisions or additions to articles accepted for publication must be sent within two weeks after they are requested.
Final copy is sent to authors for approval.
Correspondence and queries via e-mail are welcome, but we cannot accept electronic submissions of manuscripts. Departments are shorter, running in the range of 1,250-2,250 words. Orion 's endpaper is about 750 words in length. Submissions over 5,000 words may not be considered. Decisions on poetry submissions are made by the magazine's poetry editors.
