Cover letters
Include a short bio no longer than 250 words in the third person. This could be who you are, where you’re from, what you like to do, or where you’ve been published before. If you have a connection to Jacksonville, FL, please mention it.

Formatting
All submissions should be double spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font, manuscript format, and submitted as .docx files (unless specified otherwise*). We accept png files, docx. files, or jpg files of cross-genre submissions.
Rights for published work
We require first publishing rights as well as the option to anthologize. Video submissions require non-exclusive rights. We accept submissions that are available elsewhere (i.e Youtube), though by submitting, you are recognizing The Talon Review as an additional platform/publisher. As well, you commit to providing a link back to the Talon Review. All rights to visual and intellectual media used should be owned by the author. If not, it is the author's responsibility to attain full copyright permission to use any intellectual property that is not their own prior to publication. We reserve the right to reject a submission on the basis of intellectual property infringement.

About the Magazine
Founded in 2012 | United States
Talon Review seeks to publish new works by established and emerging writers. We are interested in stories, essays, and poems that linger in the heart or mind long after the last word of the last sentence. We are compelled by the strange and beautiful, drawn to the uncanny, fascinated by the fantastical, and relish risky realism that rattles our senses. Traditional and experimental work are welcome.
