Tiger Leaping Review welcomes all writers and especially hopes to promote emerging and underrepresented voices.
Because of this, submission is free!
There will be three submission periods per year.
The submission periods will be January 1st-March 31st, May 1st-July 31st, and September 1st-December 1st. Issues will be published April 30th, August 31st, and December 31st.
We know that it's terrifying to wait for a response, so we'll try to get back to you within one to two weeks of the submission period closing, as submissions are not accepted on a rolling basis. If you do not receive a reply by then, feel free to inquire.
Feedback will be given upon request.
If you would like feedback on any or all of your poems please let us know in your cover letter.
As of right now, only poetry can be accepted. There can be up to 5 poems per submission and the maximum page length across all poems is 10 total. You may submit once per submission period. There are no specific font or spacing guidelines, but please submit all poems, a short third-person bio, and an optional cover letter in a single Word document (.docx) or PDF emailed to tigerleapingreview@gmail.com.
Please only submit original, authentic work. We do not accept work generated by AI. We welcome work that deals with hard subjects but we ask that you include trigger warnings. We will not tolerate any hateful writing.
We will accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know immediately if your works gets accepted elsewhere through our "Contact" tab. We also accept previously published work but please include where it has been published before somewhere in the piece. Saying this, unpublished work is preferred.
Tiger Leaping Review reserves first electronic serial rights to your piece upon publication.
After publication, all rights revert back to the author. If your work gets published later, please acknowledge Tiger Leaping Review as the first place of publication. We nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of Net, so be sure to send your best work!
If your work is accepted for an issue, we ask that you wait at least two reading periods to submit to us again. We appreciate your shared enthusiasm for poetry, but want to give a fair opportunity to all.
