FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you pay your writers?
We are unable to compensate our writers at this time, but we hope to do so in the future.
Can I submit multiple pieces at once?
As of November 2020, we only accept one poetry and/or one fiction submission per person per issue. Please note that submissions that contain more than one of either will be rejected. You can read our full requirements here.
Can I submit something that has been published elsewhere?
In order to give our writers as much exposure as possible, we ask that you not submit anything that has been previously published, either online or in print. However, simultaneous submissions are allowed; we just ask that you withdraw your piece via Submittable if it is accepted elsewhere.
Do you print copies of your issues?
Not at this time, but we hope to someday! However, we do offer PDF versions of each issue, which you can download for free!
Do you accept creative nonfiction, artwork, or photography?
We have accepted all of these genres in the past, but due to low submission numbers, we no longer accept creative nonfiction or any sort of visual art, including photography. For now, we only publish poetry and fiction; however, this may change in the future.
Where does your name come from?
While The Raven Review has a nice, alliterative ring to it, the main inspiration for our name came from the gothic poem, “The Raven,” written by Edgar Allan Poe. We feel that this poem embodies the same deep, dark elements that we are going for with our publication. You can read the full poem here.
