Tampa Review is the faculty-edited literary journal of The University of Tampa. We publish two print issues a year and also publish complementary work on our blog. Our editorial staff considers submissions between September 1 and December 31 each year for publication in print or online during the following year.
Please read our publication ethics statement before submitting and note that we follow COPE Guidelines on AI usage: “Authors who use AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be transparent in disclosing in the Materials and Methods (or similar section) of the paper how the AI tool was used and which tool was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.”
We consider submissions made online through Submittable only. There is a small processing fee ($3 for poetry; $4 for prose) for online submissions.
Tampa Review is open for submissions September 1 – December 31, including for the Danahy Fiction Prize and Richard Mathews Poetry Prize.
Our payment for work accepted for the print edition of the journal is ten dollars per published page for both prose and poetry (payable upon publication), together with one free copy of the issue in which the work(s) appears, and a 40% discount on any additional copies you may wish to purchase. International authors will receive a digital issue.
Please note that prize entries appear as categories distinct from general poetry or fiction.
