What they accept
Colorado Review is a national literary journal based at Colorado State University that publishes contemporary fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and book reviews three times a year. Its fiction call takes one short story at a time — not flash fiction or genre fiction — through Submittable for a $3 fee during the August 1 to March 31 reading period; there is no set word count, though stories generally run 15 to 25 manuscript pages, and accepted stories pay a flat $300.
