Last call to submit for Barrier Islands Review!

Their closing date for both is tomorrow says Duotrope.

Here at Barrier Islands, our mission is to help introduce new writers to the business of magazine publishing. Getting your feet wet, even in small markets, is valuable experience. We don’t care if you’ve been published a dozen times or if you’ve never published in your life. We aim to find excellence among the up and comers.

FICTION: We are looking for character driven stories that grip the reader without delving overtly into sentimentality. Genre fiction has its place, but unfortunately, that place isn't here, though we're not closed to elements of the fantastic. Subject matter will be judged on a case by case basis.

POETRY: Barrier Islands Review is also looking for well-written poetry. As with fiction, we're not looking for sentimentality, but well placed emotion doesn't hurt. Poetry may be on any subject and in any format, but special attention will be paid to traditional and invented forms. However, content should never be sacrificed for form.

As always read their own submission guidelines carefully at the Barrier Islands Review website before submitting. Good luck! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :)
