Salem State University Soundings East

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Soundings East, the literary journal of Salem State University, is published annually with support from the Center  for Creative and Performing Arts. Founded in 1973, the journal is among the oldest in the country to publish quality poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. The magazine is edited  by upper-level creative writing students under the aegis of an Advisory Editor  from the writing faculty. 


We accept simultaneous submissions but ask that authors label them as such, and contact us immediately if they are accepted elsewhere. Our reading period is September 1 to February 15; we'll do our best to respond within three months. Contributors will receive two copies of Soundings East Vol. 45. Upon publication, all rights revert to authors.
