The editors of Aries invite submissions of poetry (1-4 poems of up to 50 lines each), fiction (200-2000 words), essays (500-2000 words), one-act plays (500-2000 words), black and white artwork  (up to 8.5" x 11", slides acceptable), and previously unpublished Spanish language poetry in translation (up to 50 lines; submit both English and Spanish versions) from September 1 through January 31 only.

The journal is open to a wide variety of perspectives, ideas and theoretical approaches; however, at the heart of all editorial decisions is the overall quality of the work submitted. No fewer than two readers consider each work, and most rejected and accepted submissions that include a functioning e-mail address or SASE will receive a personal response or critique from the Aries editorial board.

Guidelines: All entries must be free of any marks identifying the author or artist. Instead, a cover page listing the title of submission(s), author's or artist's name, mailing address, phone number(s), e-mail address (if available), and a brief biographical sketch must be clipped to the front of all submissions. Unless accompanied by a self-addressed envelope that includes sufficient U.S. postage, all entries will be considered disposable. Simultaneous submissions are acceptable. All rights revert to the author upon publication.

The Department of Languages and Literature of Texas Wesleyan University publishes Aries annually in August. The subscription price is $6 per year.
