Reunion: The Dallas Review

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Reunion's general submission period runs from October 1st-January 15th. We are open to all artists and all submissions will be considered for print and/or online publication.

The Robert Bone Memorial Creative Writing Contest submission period opens November 1st and runs concurrently to the broader reading window until January 15th. The contest is open to only students at The University of Texas at Dallas and entries will also be considered as general submissions.

Occasionally, we will make decisions during this window; however, most will be returned between February and May.
