The Dillydoun Review is an online literary journal. We do not yet have a print edition. We publish issues monthly, online only. We also publish TDR Daily (our blog), online only.

Work submitted is considered for both the upcoming issue and TDR Daily.

In 2024, we will produce a print anthology including a look back on the Best of the Best. All work published will be considered for the print anthology, whether it was published in an issue or TDR Daily.

We only accept submissions via email and as a Word Docx or PDF. Please send all submissions to thedillydounreview@gmail.com

Please allow up to 6 weeks for a response. If you haven’t heard from us within that time, please send an inquiry to the email address above.
