Contribute to New Welsh Review

Features

The majority of articles in New Welsh Review are specially commissioned by the editor, but if you have a proposal please email a brief synopsis (300 words maximum) in the first instance to the editor. Please include a brief biography. We pay in the region of £170 per article upon publication. You are welcome to communicate with the editor in either Welsh or English but submissions should be in English unless they are part of a translation project.

Creative submissions: Please leave a gap of at least 3 months between submissions, and group those submissions together.

Short stories and poems

Submission of short stories and poems may be made by post or email.

Due to the volume of submissions, we are not currently accepting fiction.

Postal submissions (short stories and poems) should be sent to the editor accompanied by a covering letter and a stamped addressed envelope or international money order for return. Material will not be returned unless it is accompanied by sufficient postage (please take note of the recent changes to postal charges for small and large letters). If acknowledgement of safe receipt is required, we would also ask you to include a stamped addressed postcard with your submission.

Email submissions of not more than six poems or one short story in any three-month period should be sent to . Please title your email ‘Submissions’, include the word 'Fiction' or 'Poetry' plus your name and attach your work as separate word documents named after your piece. We ask that you also include a covering letter.

Short stories must be typed, single-sided and double-spaced, in the region of 2,500 to 3,000 words, although we do on occasion publish shorter stories and microfiction.

Poetry submissions should consist of not more than six previously unpublished poems. Poems must be typed and single-sided.

We pay in the region of £100 for a short story and £28 for each poem, upon publication.

We aim to let you know within three months if your submission has been selected. Please be patient as we receive many submissions each week.

Letters

If you would like to respond to features or other work published in the magazine, email or send your letter to the editor. We regret that we cannot publish every letter received but we remain committed to reflecting opinion and encouraging constructive debate, and we welcome your feedback.

Online Contributions

We warmly welcome submissions and ideas for online content. At present this is mainly in the form of short reviews (650 words) and opinion pieces (450 words). Please contact the editor for ideas for new titles to review or offer your own titles or opinion piece ideas. Although we are unfortunately not able to pay for online content, it offers the opportunity for eventual publication within the magazine.
