Revolutionary Review

Submission Guidelines

These are the guidelines to submit to Revolutionary Review, our literary magazine. Please do not submit book proposals here. Please go here if you would like to submit a full-length book.

Revolutionary Review accepts submissions year-round but publishes biannually. We currently only publish work online, but in the future we will incorporate in-print.

We publish the finest work of contemporary literary arts. Our only review criterion is the excellence of the work. We also do not have specific themes. We want to see what you can bring us!

Revolutionary Review publishes poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction, and book reviews. There is NO fee to submit.
