Our current payment is in the form of one copy of the issue for which your work has been accepted. We buy first rights as well as the rights to use your name and the accepted work (whole or part) on our website. Beyond this use and following publication, rights revert to the author. We ask that Crab Creek Review be acknowledged in any subsequent publication of the work. Crab Creek Review nominates yearly for the Pushcart Prize and chooses an annual Editors' Prize ($100) for the best poem, short story, or creative non-fiction essay from the two issues published in a given year. We are proud of our literary magazine and hope you will want to purchase a copy of your own. We encourage you to subscribe!
