Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Superlative, The Literary Journal, is edited by Ross Turner, Gemma Mainwaring, Rachel Fennell, Daniel Chesmore and Holly Joyce, illustrated by Orlaith Stratford, and marketed by Hannah Darby. We publish quality, innovative work by emerging short story writers and poets, in order to promote new, developing authors and the art of the short story and poetry to readers worldwide. We are delighted with every piece we publish, but our main aim is to nurture emerging talent and newly-established writers, to keep writing alive for future generations. We take great pride in literary loyalty, and try to give our authors the best possible experience, promoting them as widely and fully as we are able.

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Keep your bio concise and meaningful, and be honest about your submission and reasons for submitting.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We are always looking for meaningful work, that discusses big topics by saying little things, so I wouldn't go for something shocking and taboo just for the sake of it - it always needs to be for a reason.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
We encourage submitters to read the guidelines and submit pieces for a specific publication, rather than sending something out ‘scatter-gun fashion’.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
People who are interested in literary prose and poetry, and in discovering new voices.
