How often are new pieces published? 

Currently, The Marlowe Review aims to publish a minimum of a new piece every two weeks.

What is the response time for submissions?

Response times will vary depending on the quantity of submissions our editors are working through at any given time. We aim to respond within a month. 

Do you offer feedback for rejected submissions? 

Yes. Feedback is incredibly important and we understand how disheartening it can be to submit a work for publication, to have it rejected and to never receive an explanation why. As such, we encourage writers to follow up on their submissions with us. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your work. 

Are there any fees associated with submitting work?

The Marlowe Review is free to submit to, but we would ask anyone submitting a manuscript with us to consider donating to the review. All of our proceeds are fed directly back to our contributors,  meaning that the more donations we receive, the more we can offer our writers in terms of renumeration. 

Are simultaneous submissions allowed?

Simultaneous submissions are absolutely allowed. We understand that writers will want to maximise their chances of seeing their work published. We simply ask to be notified should a piece be accepted elsewhere. 

Do you accept previously published pieces?

We do not accept previously published work. 

Can I publish my work elsewhere if it has appeared in The Marlowe Review? 

We caution authors against seeking to re-publish a work that has already appeared in our pages elsewhere, but should they do so, we ask them kindly to please notify us of their intention. 

Do you accept work from international writers?

Yes, we encourage submissions from every corner of the world. Our editors are happy to consider works of translation too. 

Can I submit artwork or photography alongside my writing?

Yes. Authors are asked to provide a minimum of one image or illustration to accompany their work.

Do you offer print versions of the review? 

As we continue to grow, we intend to reinforce the value of the bound print journal. Among our long-term goals is to offer our supporters a biannual print edition of the review, compiling selected works from the previous six months into a single bound print journal.
