Common Ground Review

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Common Ground Review is a free access on-line magazine as of Fall 2020. 

 We do not charge to read submissions for the magazine.  We do have a $15 fee for entering the poetry contest (see Spring/Summer).  We are happy to accept simultaneous submissions except for the poetry contest

We are a member of CLMP.

Fall/Winter

We are open for all submissions from September 1 to May 1.     

Spring/Summer

Our Poetry Contest offers a $500 first prize, $200 second prize, and $100 third prize, in addition to publication.  We also publish Honorable Mentions.  The Poetry Contest has a different guest judge each year, and a deadline: entries for the contest must be postmarked or emailed by April 15th.  No simultaneous submissions are allowed.  Each entry can have up to 3 poems, of no more than 60 lines each, and poets can submit more than one entry as long as they also pay the fee for each entry.
