Submission Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

The Trinity Review accepts poetry, short ficton, short nonfiction, photography and art submissions for consideration.

General Requirements

This journal uses a double-anonymous review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. Please remove all instances of your name from your work before uploading it!

Only works submitted by current students of Trinity University located in San Antonio, TX will be considered for publication.

Do not include a nonfiction work that name-drops real, identifiable people. We will not publish slander. You may submit a piece with changed names and minimally identifying features of others.

Excessively graphic imagery and/or language can disqualify a work from being accepted. Please be tasteful, and if you have any questions, email us at thetureview@gmail.com.

Piece Details

Prose

Submission Limit: 3

We understand that quite a lot of works go over the 1,500-word limit. Please do your best to pare stories down to fit within that limit. If that is not possible, then send us a snippet of the overall story (within 1,500 words) and let us know in the submissions comment section.

Poetry

Submission Limit: 5

Don’t break up your lines by putting a line in it. Just use the spacing tool. Otherwise, go nuts. 

Photography

Submission Limit: 6

We love photography, but we don’t have the manpower to look at more than six submissions per student. Do your best to choose the best six that you have in your portfolio! 

Artwork

Submission Limit: 6

Any artwork (digital or otherwise) will be looked at. Same with photography, we would love to look at everything you have, but we just can’t afford to have more than six per student.

Miscellaneous

Submission Limit: 6

This is for all the other funky submissions that maybe don’t fit perfectly well with the other categories. Do you have a really cool interpretive dance video you’ve been working on? Maybe a song that you’ve written or a cover that you’ve been working on? We’ll even take any animation, video game, or a really nice crochet project that you want to show off. Send them our way with a quick email and a description in the submission form to explain what exactly everything is and we’ll review it!

Copyright and Reprinting

Please review our Submissions Agreement prior to submitting your work. The Trinity Review believes in supporting authors and their ownership of their work. In submitting a piece, the Trinity Review has the right to publish the specified work and reprint the work. All rights to the piece revert to the author after publication.
