About

The Penmen Review is Southern New Hampshire University’s online journal for creative writers. Our journal encompasses The Review itself, which provides writers of all calibers, from novice to professional, with an opportunity to submit poetry, essays, book and script excerpts, and short stories for potential publication. We also offer tips and advice from seasoned writers and industry professionals in our Writing Resources. The Spotlight features interviews with noted and new writers, from poets to novelists and screenwriters to young adult authors, along with some of our creative writing students, too. New features will publish regularly and we encourage you to visit often for the latest interviews, tips and advice, and creative writing posts.

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.
