Editorial Focus
The Delmarva Review publishes exceptional, new poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction annually in print and electronic editions. Submissions have been paused in 2024 to publish an anthology of “The Best of the Delmarva Review” (November 2024). All editions are available worldwide via all major online booksellers. The editors welcome publishing the best new literary writing in print from all authors.
Tips From the Editor
Our standards are for memorable, compelling prose and poetry exhibiting skillful expression. Work must be original. It should connect with readers on more than one level.
All submissions are electronic, through the guidelines page of the website. Editors review work on a rolling basis. All writers will hear from the editor no later than May, for publication in November. Submitted material must be unpublished. Our preference is literary writing, and we discourage most genre-specific work unless it evolves into the art of literary writing.
