Mom Egg Review MER 118

About

Mom Egg Review (MER) presents sharp, thoughtful literary work focused on diverse experiences of motherhood and its interplay with other roles—woman, worker, artist, member of families, cultures, and communities. MER publishes work with ideas, exciting use of language, and strong creative energy, by writers with varied perspectives. One need not be a mother to submit. Mom Egg Review is a member of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) and adheres to their ethical guidelines for literary publications. Mom Egg Review is made possible, in part, with a re-grant from the CLMP, supported by public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

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.
