Echo Ink Review

A project of Echo Ink Publishing

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2020). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

For 20 years, Echo Ink Review has proudly promoted and published some of the finest early works by some of the most talented up-and-coming writers. These aspiring writers have gone on to become novelists, writing professors, MFA directors, and Pulitzer-Prize nominees. With the maturation of the digital age, others have gone on to land Netflix deals. After all those years, we still avoid claiming to know what comprises a good story. However, we can spot talent when we read it, and we have become adept at knowing when a story is finished.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. Look for the fees icon.

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.
