The Wise Review is an annual online literary journal launched in 2017 by the Creative Writing course at Hancock Middle Senior High School in Hancock, Maryland. The school sponsors the journal as well as an annual short story contest for middle and high school students. The journal accepts submissions from both young adults and more experienced writers to be published in the Wise Review.

 We are looking to publish flash fiction, flash nonfiction, and general fiction from emerging and established writers. We are also interested in showcasing visual art.

We accept works of fiction, flash fiction, flash nonfiction, as well as artwork.

We will NOT consider pieces with the following:

• Excessive profanity

• Overt sexual references

• Extreme violence

All submissions should be sent through our submittable page. We ask that you please include a cover letter highlighting publishing credits and other relevant stuff. Don’t bother with a synopsis of your story because we won’t bother to read it. We take a special interest in showcasing work by students and previously unpublished writers and artists, so please let us know if you fall under these categories. We welcome both unpublished works as well as reprints.
