Oakland University Review, the national undergraduate literary journal publishing out of Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, is now open for submissions!
We are looking for literary work by undergraduates that moves us. We read for all genres, including short story, poetry, essay/memoir, visual art, graphic/comix forms, and short plays and screenplays. In addition, we are actively looking for work from undergraduate students in prisons. You can read more about OAR on our website.
We have rolling submissions, but our loose due date for submissions is December 1, 2025. Students have the best shot at being read promptly and published if they submit work by this date. They can submit to us for free through our website or through Submittable at https://oar.submittable.com.
