About the review process:
“Working with Queen City Writers was a wonderful experience. The feedback was positive and kind, but also very thorough – it was clear the reviewers put a lot of time and care into reading the work. With communication, I was always kept in the loop, and given considerable time to make edits. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better first opportunity to publish my writing.” -Ileana Oeschger, Spring 2024

Their evaluations provided me with clear suggestions for improvement in my writing while also identifying my strengths. I appreciated the editors’ transparent communication throughout this process as well.” — Ireland Seagle, Fall 2023
