Submission Guidelines

General Guidelines

​- Please view our FAQ page before submitting. We mainly strive to publish poems by Korean contributors. However, we are open to works that simply pertain to Korea.

- Send all works to thehanokreview[at]gmail[dot]com with the following subject line [GENRE_full name]

 

Ex) POETRY_Jane Doe

​

- Preferred format: 12-point font, EB Garamond, pdf or docx

- Please include a brief third-person bio and cover letter to accompany your piece(s). Please indicate whether you are ethnically Korean or not.

- Submissions that are written in Korean or incorporate Korean terminology are always welcome. 

- We accept simultaneous submissions. However, if your poems are accepted elsewhere, please send an immediate follow-up response to your submission on the same email thread.

- We do not accept previously published pieces. 

- We will immediately reject work that contains unduly graphic descriptions and/or phobic implications towards any particular group of individuals. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any sort of prejudice.
