Notre Dame Review A project of Notre Dame Press (see other related projects). This listing may be deactivated on: 01 Oct 2026. Learn about this process. About Notre Dame Review is dedicated to registering the exciting, expansive, generous and daring ideas and practices of contemporary writing – whether from the US or international, whether written in digital luminosity or runes scraped in rock, whether they are stars exploding in the cosmos or unkillable worm-like creatures waving from hot vents on the bottom of the sea. NDR aims to become a meeting place of different aesthetics, styles that in their harmony or dissonance will generate vivid permutations of the art of writing.Our goal is to present a panoramic view of contemporary art and literature—no one style is advocated over another. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.) The fee is USD $3 (average for magazines that charge).
