West Windsor, N.J. – Area writers and artists are invited to submit their work for possible inclusion in Kelsey Review 2015, an arts journal published annually by Mercer County Community College (MCCC).  The Review accepts short fiction, poetry, personal essays, excerpts of novels, black and white line drawings (suitable for digital scanning), and cartoons by those who live, work or study in Mercer County.

Fiction should be limited to 4,000 words, non-fiction to 2,500 words, and poetry to six pages. Material can be on any topic, but should not have been previously published.  Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but authors are asked to inform the editors as soon as possible if a piece submitted to Kelsey Review has been accepted for publication elsewhere.  

This year, the college is introducing a new online submission system.  (Submissions will no longer be accepted by mail or email.)  Full details on the submission process and criteria for submission are available here; the online submission form is available here. Online versions of prior years' editions are also available on this webpage. For additional information or questions, email  kelsey.review@mccc.edu.
