Do you take submissions?

Yes. Submissions are open from November 1 through December 1 for the next issue, which releases the following April. In addition to completed work, we also welcome works-in-progress and pitched ideas. We can be reached at submissions@thehtml.review

How much do you pay contributors?

$500 per piece

What type of work are you looking for?

Poetry, fiction, non-fiction, graphic storytelling, and experiments that rely on the web as a medium are all welcome.

Do creators own their own work?

Yes. All contributors own their own work in perpetuity and are free to iterate and publish it elsewhere. the html review wants to be more of an incubator and cheerleader than a traditional publisher. Anything contributors make belongs to them and them alone.

Does the html review have to host the work?

One of the beautiful things about the web is that hyperlinks make centralization unnecessary. While we would love a copy of the code for archival purposes, you are totally free to host your submission somewhere else if that makes the most sense!

Does the magazine have social media accounts?

No, not right now. Maybe not ever? We prefer to drive all engagement toward our contributors.
