You may reach out to us on the email address above with a pitch for essays, book reviews and other non-fiction prose pieces, as well as visual poetry, videos or other digital submissions.

 

Submitting your work to The Aleph Review signifies that you have submitted a final version. No further changes to your submission will be accepted. So please make sure you double-check everything, including names of journals, books, etc., in your bio as well as any direct quotes included in your submissions.

 

The Aleph Review’s editorial team reserves the right to edit your piece for clarity and technical correctness without sharing the final proofed version with you. Any major changes will be discussed with you before we publish your piece.
