From the The Gay & Lesbian Review guidelines:

READERSHIP. The magazine is targeted to “literate non-specialists,” i.e. well-educated readers who span a wide range of professions and interests. A high level of intellectual sophistication can be assumed; however, specialized jargon or highly academic language should be avoided. Lively, thought-provoking, and readable are some watchwords for articles that we publish.

GENRES. The G&LR publishes nonfiction and poetry—but not short fiction, personal memoirs, or journals.

  • Feature Articles. Full-length essays, most organized around an issue “theme,” make up around 60% of each issue. (Word range of 2,000 to 4,000, with a “golden mean” of 2,500.)
  • Reviews make up most of the balance. The majority are reviews of books, with a few on the arts (film, theater, visual arts, etc.) in each issue. (600 to 1,200 words. A few “Briefs” of 250 words also appear.)
  • Interviews with prominent GLBT artists and activists occasionally run as feature articles. Use Q&A format rather than a journalistic write-up.
  • Artist’s Profile. Recurring column spotlights a prominent or rising artist, writer, choreographer, etc. Usually includes a short interview with a brief introduction to the artist’s work. (1,000 to 1,500 words.)
  • Art Memo. Column allows for a personal reflection on a single work or artist/writer who made a difference in the writer’s life. (1,000 to 1,500 words.)
  • International Spectrum. Column highlights the state of GLBT rights or culture in a city or region outside the U.S. (1,000 to 1,500 words.)
  • Correspondence. Letters to the editor.
  • Guest Opinion. Op-ed pieces take an advocacy position on a current issue. (500 to 1,000 words.)
