SASE must be included for return or reply. Clear photocopies are acceptable. Cover letters are encouraged but not required.

Responses take from two to four months.
As with submissions to any literary magazine, familiarity with our journal will facilitate understanding the kind of writing we want. The CR publishes high quality literary fiction characterized by interest in language, development of distinctive settings, and delineation of unique characters in conflict. We do not consider such genres as historical romance and science fiction. Fiction should be double spaced with one inch margins. Unless stories are very short, only one story per submission should be sent.
