UPDATE: The submission window for the 2020-2021 issue of The Fall Line Review IS NOW OPEN! Please consider submitting!

Please read all of the following guidelines before submitting your work.

Submission Guidelines
  • Submitter must be an MGA student.
  • The Fall Line Review accepts submissions year round, but for a submission to be eligible for the Spring 2021 edition, it must be submitted by Friday, January 29, 2021 at 11:59 pm. 
  • The Fall Line Review only accepts original works previously unpublished.
  • The Fall Line Review encourages you to submit works that haven't been submitted to the magazine before. 
  • The Fall Line Review allows five submissions per genre.  See genre specific guidelines below.
  • All written submissions must be typed with poetry being single-spaced and prose being double-spaced.  Submit written work as .doc or .docx OR .rtf files. 
  • All written work must be titled, and the file name should contain the title but not the name of the student submitting, so we may maintain blind judging. For example, a story titled My Story should have the file name of My Story.rtf/doc. PDF submissions may be returned to the submitter if it contains identifying student information that is unable to be removed.
  • When submitting, you may include a biography. This should be 1-5 sentences, and may include your major, interests, and goals, or any other information that you would like to include. 
  • The submission system only allows for five file uploads. If you are submitting more than this, you may fill out the submission form multiple times with five files each.
  • The Fall Line Review does not accept strictly academic essays. Please see Knighted, MGA's journal of undergraduate research, to submit strictly academic works for publication.
  • Notifications of acceptance will be sent via the student’s college email during the first week of April 2021.
