Hayden’s Ferry Review is open for translation and art for our print journal year-round. Submissions in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction for issue 74 are open from November 1-30 or until submissions caps are met. We’ll also open 50 free submissions for underrepresented writers in each genre – see further guidelines below!

HFR is open for free submissions for our spring 2024 web issue, IN-QUEER-Y, from November 1-30. Please note that genre-specific guidelines for our web issues can differ from the below guidelines for our print journal. View Guidelines for IN-QUEER-Y here.

Please only submit to one call for submissions at a time.

Translation Guidelines:

Translations submissions should be works translated into English from any other non-English language, and must include the original text along with the translated text. Translators should secure rights to translate the work they are submitting. Submit up to 6 poems/micro-fictions, or one essay/story. Upon acceptance, we will request a translator’s note on your translation process (similar to an artist statement).

Translation submissions are open year-round and during the months we open for submissions in other genres for a forthcoming issue, we’ll also open submissions for 50 free translation submissions under the Submittable category “TRANSLATION: Free Submissions for Underrepresented Writers – Issue X.”
