The Lincoln Review is edited exclusively by Creative Writing postgraduate students at the University of Lincoln.
The Lincoln Review is published annually.
We seek innovative work from both established authors as well as emerging and underrepresented voices. At The Lincoln Review, we actively encourage writers, artists, and photographers who come from marginalised and underprivileged backgrounds. We want to hear the stories of BAME, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and disabled creatives.
Send only one submission at a time. No previously published work. Simultaneous submissions are accepted as long as we are notified of acceptance elsewhere. If you have a pending submission, please wait for a response before submitting again. Our average response time is 3–5 months. Please do not query until 5 months have passed.
Please note that current students and staff at the University of Lincoln may not submit work. Undergraduate and postgraduate alumni, as well as past employees of the University of Lincoln, are asked to wait three years before submitting work to the journal.
