Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Anomaly Literary Journal wanted to create a literary journal that, from the outset, selected only the best of up and coming poets, artists and writers. In an online market flooded with literary journals of all kinds, we realised something: it's been a long time since any of us read a journal that contained pieces where each one gripped us and made us wish we'd written it, where not all the poets sounded the same, where there was variety of all different sorts of writing, not just one or two decent poems and the rest were filler, but hosted a succession of decent, skilled poems one after the other like a series of bangs in the distance.

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Be professional, be brief but don't say nothing at all!
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Quality writing. We're not fussy.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Keep the cover letter short, professional and remember, if we reject your work it's not a comment on your work or worth as a writer! We appreciate that your sent your work to us.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
I think Scherezade Siobhán, Greg Walklin, Gabrielle Montesanti, Laura Pavlo, Lindsay Parnell, Grant Tarbard, Zelda Chappel and Jack Warren's work– these writers blew me away. There are others too, but I can't list them all. I follow their names now.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
That's a tough question. I don't think we have one. I think would be reductive to try to answer that– they know who they are!
