The Little Review

About

The Little Review is the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry.
In each issue you will find pithy book reviews, surprising features, short fiction, scraps of news and mischief, and a handful of new poems.
Poetry magazines can be very dull. The Little Review is not a poetry magazine. We are a magazine – one that just happens to be entirely about poetry.

Important: Any submission that includes poems must include at least one book review per poem.

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.
