Every issue of Sentinel Literary Quarterly from July 2012 will have a section called Featured Country in which we will present a supplement on that country. If you would like to submit your work specifically for the Featured Country Supplement, please indicate that in your submission. For instance if you are submitting to the issue that will have South Africa as a featured country, in your submission subject, type: ‘Poetry Submission (South Africa Supplement)’ To be included in the Supplement, your poem, essay, short story, or interview will have relevance to the featured country.
The Featured Country for October – December issue is SOUTH AFRICA.

Simultaneous Submissions: We discourage simultaneous submissions. The turnaround time is 8 weeks. Hopefully that is not too long for you.
Previously Published Work: Generally we discourage submissions of previously published work. If we feel strongly about a previously published work we may solicit it. If your work has been published elsewhere and you feel it has not been given the exposure it deserves, and you feel strongly about it, by all means submit it, but please mention where and when it was first published.
