As we are now an annual journal, please expect a wait time of 4-8 months depending on when you submit, as much of the review occurs during the fall. 

If your submission is accepted for publication in the journal, you will receive two free copies of Issue 29.

We are now charging a small service fee ($2) for submissions*. This administrative fee helps fund our online submission system and ensures that Fourteen Hills will continue as an outlet for exciting and diverse new work. (*Submission fees are waived for current subscribers to Fourteen Hills. To support us as a subscriber, please visit our Subscriptions page. If this fee poses a financial hardship, please email us at hills@sfsu.edu).
