Our literary magazine publishes quarterly. We are looking for work that expresses honest opinions and emotional responses to timely and relevant personal or world issues. You are eligible for submission if you are between the ages of 13 and 24. 

 

We do not accept previously published work unless it has been published only in print or it has been recognized in a contest. Works from personal blogs or personal social media accounts are also accepted. We allow simultaneous submissions as long as we are notified at our email (editor@theincandescentreview.org) immediately after the piece's acceptance in another publication.

​

We ask for first North American publishing rights and archival rights for all accepted work. All rights revert back to the author upon publication, however we ask that you mention The Incandescent Review in future publications as where your work was originally published.

 

Submissions must go through email. Please email your submissions to submissions.incandescentreview@gmail.com with the subject heading, "Attn: [Genre]_Submission." For example, a poem would be submitted under "Attn: Poetry_Submission."
