Regular Submissions 2026

Ends on

New writing has the ability to inspire, educate, and transform our lives. Everyone has an important message to share, whether you are published or unpublished, new to writing or experienced. We are excited to read your work. 

We believe in the importance of supporting writers and so are currently open to unsolicited submissions of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.  

We are open to submissions all year round.

  • Submissions are open to writers from everywhere in the world.
  • There are no theme or genre restrictions.
  • You will receive an automated confirmation email.  
  • We pay $50 USD upon publication. 
  • Only one submission per person active at a time please. 
  • All submissions must be the original work of the author, and previously unpublished. This includes online publication (publication solely on the writer's own social media channels is fine). 
  • The submission must not be under contract elsewhere, and the author must have copyright to every element of the work. 
  • Submissions must not be defamatory, obscene, unlawful, or libelous. Fiction must be entirely fictional, and any resemblance to persons a coincidence. 
  • Copyright remains with the author upon publication. The Letter Review requires a three month exclusive right to publication from the date of first publication, and a non exclusive indefinite right to publish after the first three months. 
  • Simultaneous submissions are allowed but please withdraw your work on Submittable as soon as possible if it is accepted elsewhere. 
  • Alterations will not be possible.
  • We are not currently resourced to provide feedback.
  • Please see full T&C here.
