We welcome:

• Essays and reviews of recently published work in literature, history, politics, science and the arts;
• Original poetry;
• Photo essays; and
• Drawings, cartoons or other artwork amenable to online publication.

We primarily publish work from graduates of the University of Oxford, but do accept submissions from others within and outside the University.

Guidelines

The Oxonian Review generally publishes essays and book reviews between 1000 and 1600 words. All pieces will be judged on their individual merits. The Oxonian Review looks for clarity and accessibility as well as depth and rigour. We assume an intelligent, interested audience, capable of understanding a sustained discussion, but not necessarily familiar with the terms used in a specific field. In longer articles, we prefer pieces that include a balanced, contextual discussion of the work and a well-articulated response.

Submission and Editorial Procedures

The Oxonian Review welcomes the submission of unsolicited pieces, but prefers prospective authors to propose a topic first. All submitted articles are subject to a rigorous editing process. Every piece submitted and accepted is likely to undergo multiple rounds of editing, fact-checking and (in some cases) cutting for publication. We reserve the right to edit pieces for stylistic purposes, but make every attempt to consult with authors.

Submission Dates

We accept submissions on a rolling basis.

Contact

All proposals and submissions should be directed to the executive editor, Stephen Ross, at sjross7@gmail.com.

Letters to the editor and other inquires can be directed to the editor-in-chief, John Maloney, at john.maloney@st-hildas.ox.ac.uk.
