What they accept

The Yale Review publishes fiction but is not open for fiction submissions on November 5, 2026, after an unprecedented number of submissions this year, and directs writers to check back in 2027. Its general rules require work in English that has not been published in print or online, allow simultaneous submissions with prompt notification, and state no fiction word limit. Prose is paid between $250 and $1,000 depending on length, plus two contributor copies for print.
