DMQ Review

About

204 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

While our current interest remains the Prose Poem, the DMQ Review is extremely proud of our history as one of the longest continuously running online journals in the nation, featuring award-winning poetry with art since 1998. As an independent, volunteer-run literary journal, it has been our privilege to publish the work of both established and emerging poets and to do so without submission or subscription fees. We welcome American and international voices from all cultural identities in the English language.

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.
