Submitted pieces cannot have been previously published, nor be forthcoming in an archival journal or book (print or electronic). In addition, by submitting material to the Cedarville Review, the author is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that he or she will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at the Cedarville Review.
