Submit

We are currently reading submissions for Vol. 9 of The Letters Page, to be published in Spring 2026.

We are back in the office, and ready to receive your real handwritten letters in the post.

Before submitting please carefully read the submission guidelines.

Guidelines 

At The Letters Page, we publish stories, essays, poems, memoir, reportage, criticism, recipes, travelogue, and any hybrid forms. We are looking for writers of all nationalities and ages, both established and emerging. We only ask that your submission come in the form of a letter.

Your letter must be sent in the post to:

The Letters Page, School of English, University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK

Remember to include your contact details along with your submission.

* Any submissions that are not in letter form will be automatically rejected * 

We don’t have a strict word limit, but our attention span is often short – we rarely publish letters above 750 words.

Please allow time for us to read and respond to your submissions. We will try to get back to you as soon as possible, but our typical response time is around 4 months. 

All contributors will receive our next issue, whether selected for publication or not.

Contributors whose letters are shortlisted will receive a year’s subscription to The Letters Page.

Published contributors will receive a gift subscription to one of our favourite small presses or literary journals and a lifetime subscription to future volumes of The Letters Page.

We can’t wait to hear from you!
