Cover letter
Cover letters are not required. Your submission email should include a brief third-person bio for us to include if your work is selected for publication.
Eligibility
Creators from a specific location / ethnic group
We are open to all, poetry, prose, and creative nonfiction from those who identify as Middle Eastern, regardless of where they reside. We consider all writers regardless of age, experience, or any other designation, as long as they are respectful and conscious of our mission and the social realities behind it. Since the designation “Middle Eastern” is deeply complex itself, we allow submitters to decide if The Rumi Review is the right place for their work.Formatting
Each of your submissions should be sent as separate attachments within your submission email. Submissions do not need to be in English, but non-English pieces must include a translation for accessibility purposes.
Author's rights
We ask for First North American Serial Rights for unpublished work. You (the writer) will retain all legal rights to your work. Once your work has been published here, you may submit it to other publications if you wish, though we ask that you credit The Rumi Review as where your work was first featured. For previously published work, we ask for non-exclusive archival rights.
