The editorial board reviews submissions on a rolling basis. Thus, we accept submissions by electronic mail year-round. To submit, manuscripts must be formatted in a file type compatible with MS Word. We further request that the manuscripts be typed double-spaced and set up with 1-inch margins. Include a cover letter addressed to the relevant editor and a resume or curriculum vitae with each submission. We accept manuscripts with the understanding that the content has not been published elsewhere.

Please submit all works and queries to kartika.review [at] gmail [dot] com.

When submitting, please specify which genre your manuscript falls under:

For creative nonfiction, we are particularly interested in work (memoir, reportage, letters, essay, etc.) that touches on themes including--but not limited to--identity, memory, family, culture, history, trauma, dislocation.
