Submit Your Work to the Worcester Review 

Call for Submissions for The Worcester Review Jazz Issue, Fall 2013

Each issue of The Worcester Review includes a feature section on a person or topic with particular relevance to the Worcester area. Inspired by Cole Porter, who graduated from Worcester Academy, the 2013 feature will be Jazz-themed. We are looking for scholarly Jazz-themed creative works including essays, poetry, visual arts, and short fiction. All aspects of the musical genre will be considered.

Submissions can be made online through Tell it Slant  ( www.tellitslant.com  ) or via snail mail:
