What they accept

The Carolina Quarterly is the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's literary journal, revived under new editorship after a four-year hiatus; a university announcement said submissions would reopen early in the fall, and its portal carries guidelines for a forthcoming print issue, though no open window or deadline is stated there. Fiction is limited to one prose piece of no more than twenty-five pages at a time, simultaneous submissions are accepted, previously published work is not reprinted, and each contributor receives a $25 honorarium through PayPal plus one copy. Submissions from current UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff, or students are not accepted.
