Copper Nickel aspires toward diversity and eclecticism, printing work that appeals to the editors regardless of aesthetic affiliation—and they are particularly (though by no means exclusively) interested in work that considers sociohiostorical context. The editors also feature multiple translation folios in each issue, such that work from other national literatures enters the American literary conversation.

We try to respond to most submissions within eight weeks, though we can definitely take longer—particularly in the spring and over the holidays. We charge $3 per submission.
