About the journal
Literary Review was founded in Edinburgh in 1979 by Dr Anne Smith, head of the English Department at Edinburgh University. She created a lively, intelligent literary magazine for people who love reading, but hate academic and intellectual jargon.
From the start, Literary Review plugged in to the best and most exciting current writing. The reviewers are usually authors themselves, not just critics. In the 1980s, the new owner, Naim Attallah, secured award-winning journalist Auberon Waugh as editor. For fourteen years Auberon Waugh led the magazine and gave it the high profile it has today.
Nancy Sladek, who has been at Literary Review for ten years, is the current Editor. The magazine is recognised as being intelligent, informative, and witty. It attracts the best writers in the country, many of them experts in their fields.
Instructions to Authors
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
TLR is now limited to electronic submissions via Submission Manager. We have decided to stop considering mailed printout submissions because those received electronically facilitate tracking and multple readings as well as saving writers postage and printing costs.
We read submissions between September 1 and January 31. Editorial decisions are usually made within three or four months. We do not object to multiple submissions if authors inform us when work is accepted elsewhere.
Please note that our print issues have a backlog until 2009 because of commitments to special issues and to material already accepted. For the time being, we are accepting work only for our online publication, TLRWeb. If authors do not wish their work considered for web publication, they should wait to submit until our 2008-2009 reading period.
TLR considers submissions of fiction, poetry, and creative non fiction written in English or translated, essays on contemporary literature, and short reviews. We do not consider work that has been published previously in print or online. Citations in essays should follow the MLA Style Sheet. Query first before submitting reviews.
No more than one story or five poems should be submitted at any one time. Literary essays should provide an overview of a writer or theme rather than a close reading of individual works. We are especially interested in introducing writers from many nations to our readers.
We publish writing we believe most appropriate to TLR's style, interests, and editorial tastes--as well as space limitations. Therefore, rejection does not necessarily imply lack of merit.
