The Concord Review

We need the best history papers and we welcome a chance to consider your best work. Essays are accepted on a “rolling admissions” basis and are qualified for the next four issues of the journal.

Authors whose essays will be published are informed by letter the month before their paper comes out.

Each author who submits a paper and submission fee, receives the next four issues of the journal in e-Book form. For an additional $30 plus shipping costs, authors may receive the print edition of the journal. The Concord Review is the first and only journal in the world which publishes the academic work of secondary students, so our reprints usually make an extraordinary contribution to an author’s college application materials.

The best way to judge the quality of the history essays we have published is to read several of the issues of the journal. We advise that the author should prepare with considerable reading on the topic and that the essay go through at least one draft before it is polished and proofread for submission.
