The SDL Review
- Submissions -
The SDL Review, a paying lit journal/anthology hybrid publishing profound works of poetry, prose, visual art, articles, reviews, and indie news. Available in print and eBook editions.
The SDL Review is founded on the profound belief that poets and writers have the power to transcend boundaries, foster empathy, enhance understanding, and catalyze social change. We believe literature should reflect the complexity of life and we aim to offer a broader, more accurate view of the human condition.
We are drawn to evocative, raw, poignant, and powerful pieces of substance and style.
Pluck at our heartstrings, speak to our souls, send shivers down our spines, shine a light on our darkness, and uncover our unspoken truths.
