Cold Creek Review is an online journal of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and artwork that aims to submerge readers in the deep, icy waters of unsettling emotion. They hope to uncover the aesthetics of suffering, the beauty within pain. Each submission is reviewed individually by an editorial staff who discusses the work as a team, giving each piece careful attention. To get a sense of what they are looking for, you can read past issues online.
The journal is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. They accept submissions year-round, and right now they’re seeking submissions for their fifth issue. They aim to respond to submissions within six weeks, and authors who don’t hear back within six weeks are welcome to query.
Twice a year, in January and July, Cold Creek Review publishes a special themed edition called The Shallows. Right now, they’re seeking writing for the third edition of The Shallows prompted by “moments when getting something you desperately wanted caused massive regret.” Each piece in The Shallows is published alongside an author interview.
