The Dawn Review 12

About

Creative expression is powerful because it allows us to create beauty, meaning, and understanding. Even when we create pieces about struggle, we show that we care, and we show others that they are not alone. Since we are all writers and artists, we know how difficult it is to feel heard and to find a community of people who share our passions. This is why we strive to provide a safe place for writers and artists to share their work and connect with one another. This is also why we are dedicated to supporting emerging creatives by working with writers through the submission process, and offering free feedback for all submissions. Regardless of who you are, or what your background is, we encourage you to submit– we hope to provide a platform for a wide range of diverse perspectives!

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
