Editorial Focus
The goal of the magazine continues to be to import the best writing to local readers, to juxtapose the work of established writers with new writers, and to export the best local writers to a national readership. Each poem and story submitted to the Louisville Review is judged entirely on its own merit whether the author is already nationally known or previously unpublished.
Tips From the Editor
The Louisville Review accepts unsolicited submissions of fiction and poetry. We accept only unpublished work. Simultaneous submissions are not accepted. All submissions are considered based largely on the quality of the writing.
If your work is chosen for publication, we provide one complimentary print copy of the Louisville Review to our U.S. based contributors. International contributors will receive an electronic copy of the issue. We also welcome international submissions with English translations.
