FICTION & NONFICTION
We consider short fiction and personal essays with contemporary themes (no genre fiction or literary criticism). There is no specific word or page count; generally, however, Colorado Review prefers short stories and essays that are somewhere between 15 and 25 manuscript pages. Please submit one story or essay at a time.
POETRY
We consider poetry of any style. Please limit poetry submissions to no more than five poems at a time.

We do not accept unsolicited book reviews. If you would like to submit a book review, please send a query to creview@colostate.edu.
