The Rejected Quarterly is unique among literary magazines. We offer quality offbeat fiction you can�t find anywhere else. But that�s not to say traditional literary magazines don�t have a place. Indeed, they provide a valuable function. Knowing how good traditional literary magazines are at their job, TRQ allows them to do the first level of weeding for us. Whatever they want, we don�t want. That�s why we require our writers to submit at least five rejection slips from other publications along with each manuscript. No other literary journal maintains such strict standards. Then the editors select from among the best of this already select group. What emerges always makes for engaging reading. That together with such features as: Words from the Weiss, Schlagel Press Strategy, The Art of Rejection, and the ever-present interview make TRQ a bargain at one and a half times the price. Subscribe, check-out a back issue, or request your local library carry it. First in the field of rejection since 1998.
