Say Happy Holidays with The Hopkins Review!
Send a friend a whole year (or two!) of award-winning creative gifts—including great fiction, poetry, translation, essays, criticism, public-facing scholarship, and visual art—when you buy them a gift subscription to The Hopkins Review.
When you buy a print gift subscription to The Hopkins Review here on Submittable now through December 31, 2023, we'll send a digital broadside of any one-page poem from The Hopkins Review (you choose one, or we'll choose one for you) to the recipient, and a personal note from you (if you'd like)! The gift will keep giving throughout the year, as each of the four issues of volume 17 arrives in 2024 (and each of the four issues of volume 18 arrives in 2025, if you buy a two-year subscription).
Normally just $35 for one year (four issues) and $63 for two years (eight issues), we are offering the above gift subscriptions for $25 for one year (that's the normal retail price of a single issue!) or $45 for two years.
(You can also get a 30% discount on all issues and subscriptions when you buy directly from Hopkins Press through December 31, 2023, using promo code THRPUBPARTY1223 on the Press's site, but this personalized gift is only available here on Submittable.)
Individual print copies (and full four-issue bundles of volumes 15 and 16) available for purchase and pre-order here on Submittable!

We are currently interested in book reviews and literary essays/criticism, public-facing scholarship, and arts criticism/journalism (film, dance, theater, performance, visual art, and beyond). See Features to get a sense of what we’ve been publishing. We welcome reviews of work in translation, books published by smaller presses and university presses, and work that has received less critical attention. If you are including work by another artist or artists (visual art, for example) in your review or essay, it is your responsibility to obtain permission. We pay $40 per web feature, or a two-year print subscription (usually $63). Include a bio and email address in your cover letter. Submit one work at a time, but feel free to let us know in your cover letter if you would be interested in contributing web features on a more regular basis.
Please do not submit fiction, poetry, translation, or creative nonfiction (personal essays without a critical or craft connection); we consider those for both print and online during our yearly open reading period in October.
Our submission fee is waived for subscribers. If you are interested in taking out a subscription to the Review, click here. If you subscribe, email thehopkinsreview@gmail.com to request a private, fee-waived "Subscriber Submission" portal to submit your work, instead of this one. Subscribers can submit in any genre for both print and online at any time of year.
