Great River Review Issue 72, Spring 2025: submissions accepted until cap reached.

For our Spring 2025 issue, we are welcoming nonfiction submissions of up to 9,000 words. This is a limited reading period; submissions will close once we have reached fifty submissions. Please submit only one piece.

• We seek nonfiction that bends—but doesn't break—the genre.
• We appreciate risk-taking with structure, chronology, form, and other elements of nonfiction (save for truth—there’s no messing with that) that tell a richly textured story.
• We are open to memoir that goes beyond the personal story to engage with larger ideas through the use of research, multiple narrative voices, and chronological deviations.
• Nonfiction will be fact-checked.
• Works of translations are welcome.
• We accept .doc, .docx, & .pdf file types. Unless special formatting is required, please submit your work in Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double spaced, with page numbers.
• Please also include a brief biography with your submission (400 characters max).
