The Quasar Review

About

The Quasar Review was founded in 2025 with a purpose: to offer writers an avenue to publish their work and have their voices heard. The Review strives to embody its founding characteristics of empathy, individuality, and perseverance throughout the world's troubling times.

The Review is committed to safeguarding free speech, equality, and democracy through its publications. We have received submissions, published authors/artists, and have readers from 6 continents and 33 different countries, plus 36 US states and Washington D.C. Many of our authors are Pushcart prize nominees, Best of Net award winners, and all are highly prolific in the literary world.

We especially wish for authors/artists from war-torn, oppressed, and impoverished countries to submit.

At The Quasar Review, we foster a community that thrives on shared appreciation of artful expression and storytelling. Join us on this literary adventure where every word weaves a story and every story paints a world.

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.
