The Aroostook Review, a new online journal largely developed by students
under the guidance of English faculty at the University of Maine at Fort
Kent, is seeking quality submissions of poetry, fiction, non-fiction and
creative non-fiction for possible publication in its first issue-Spring
2006. Work that is accepted for online publication may be selected for
a yearly print "Best of" issue. We plan to print what readers select as the
best work in each category.

In the category of non-fiction, we would include scholarly essays on writers
and various types of academic essays. We plan to have an interview with
a featured writer, scholar, inspirational person or lifelong learner in each
issue.
If you have an idea for such an interview, please query.

The current theme is "Beyond Borders" since we are moving beyond borders
with our first online issue. The theme will vary for each issue, and you
may
also suggest future themes. If you are unsure whether your work fits
the current theme, you may query first.

Submission Guidelines:
Please make sure your submissions are in a ©Microsoft Word Format (*.doc) or
a plain text file (*.txt).
Biographical information: In the body of the email, by which you attach
your
work, please provide a short biography of around 50 words (written in the

Non-Fiction Submissions:
