  Full details  The Letter Review Prize – Now Open The Letter Review Prize is an internationally celebrated event, offered every three months in the categories of Short Fiction , Nonfiction, Poetry , and Books . We publish our winners, and award over $16,000 USD annually to writers, meaning our prize is among the highest paying literary prizes administered by a literary journal in the world. Enter Here Letter Review emerges as a hallowed space where words bleed, mend, and soar. Within its pages, we find not just tales, but the delicate pulse of memories, interwoven with the age-old craft of storytelling and vulnerability. To have my voice cradled in such a sacred place is a serenade to the moonlit hours where prose meets poetry. A profound honor. The Letter Review stands as a monument of writing wisdom and talent. Being part of this mosaic of narrative and verse is a true honor. Frederick Joseph : two-time New York Times bestselling author, activ...

  Full details  OUR VISION & what we’re looking for We’re looking for honest work with literary merit : elevated work which acknowledges present realities. We encourage work that isn’t sanitized or buttoned-up. Scripture is brutal and real. Ezekiel was called to bake his bread by fire fueled by human excrement (Ezek 4:12), the psalmist called for the death of his enemies’ children (Ps 137:9), and Christ’s own death was horribly violent and described in graphic detail (Matt 27:26–56). Life is not tame and neither is Christianity; we want to meet people where they are. Further, we believe God’s truth can be found in all forms of art and literature, just as he’s found in all creation (Ps 19). Your work doesn’t need to directly pertain to Christian theology or contain Christian themes. Solum journal submissions We welcome unsolicited submissions. We accept both previously unpublished material and reprints. Simultaneous submissions are welcome so long as we...
