Editorial Focus

Chiron Review presents the widest possible range of contemporary creative writing—fiction and nonfiction, traditional and off-beat, in a perfect-bound, softcover format, including art and photography. It has published many well-known writers, but their focus is on up-and-coming new writers. It looks for unpretentious literature that is accessible beyond the ivory towers of academia and outside the bounds of religious or politically correct restrictions. It celebrates eclecticism, diversity, honesty, and humor.

Tips From the Editor

Be familiar with the market and carefully follow submission guidelines. Always include short third-person bio and postal address with your submission. Don’t make your editor ask for them! For our magazine, make note that our page line length limit is 4". We use 11-point Times New Roman. Lines longer than 4" will be divided by the editor. Buy sample copies when budget allows. We don’t have a submission portal. We accept email and postal submissions with SASE.
