SUBMISSION FEEDBACK

We will workshop your story for less than the cost of a Starbucks drink! Although that doesn’t mean much in this economy.

PLEASE NOTE: Workshop submissions are now closed for Issue 2.

Our editorial team is formed by many voices with years of experience in writing and editing. All of us have formal education in studying and writing creative pieces, as well as experience in evaluating them.

If you would like your piece to be workshopped by our entire editorial team, complete with line comments and individual notes from each editor, you can Cashapp $5 to $tabularasareview with your name and title of the piece.

If we do not give you feedback in a timely manner by the end of our submission period, we will refund your purchase and provide you the promised feedback as soon as possible.
