About the Magazine
Founded in 1951 | United States
Founded in 1951, The Penn Review is the oldest continuously published and premier literary magazine at the University of Pennsylvania. Devoted to the literary and visual arts, The Penn Review publishes original poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual artwork. We feature a blend of emerging and established voices in our biannual online publications and annual print publication. In our seven-decade history, we have published works by William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg, E. E. Cummings, and Jennifer Egan, among others. Currently ranked as one of the 25 Fastest Fiction & Poetry Markets in Duotrope's database, we strive to respond to all submissions within a week. However, response times may be longer than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Penn Review is an official member of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses.
