Tampa Review is a literary magazine published by the University of Tampa, with a longstanding commitment to presenting contemporary writing in a thoughtfully curated format. The journal has a national reputation for publishing both emerging and established voices, and its editorial vision emphasizes work that is crafted, resonant, and attentive to the possibilities of language. While the magazine is based in Florida, its scope is international, drawing from a diverse pool of writers across the United States and beyond. For writers, publication in Tampa Review offers a meaningful credential and a place in a journal that values literary merit over trend. The review does not charge a submission fee, according to its guidelines, making it accessible to a broad range of writers. Accepted work appears in print and occasionally online, and contributors receive copies of the issue. The journal's editorial team reads submissions with care, seeking writing that demonstrates a command of form and a distinctive voice. The curatorial approach at Tampa Review is one of discernment rather than thematic prescription. There is no fixed theme for general submissions; instead, the editors look for writing that surprises, moves, and illuminates. The magazine has a particular interest in work that engages with place, history, and the complexities of human experience, but it remains open to a wide spectrum of styles and subjects. Writers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with recent issues to understand the journal's aesthetic range.
