The Midway Review

Hello everyone,

We hope that you are safe and healthy in this challenging moment. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be pushing back the first issue of the revived Midway Review to Fall 2020. As such, the new deadline for submissions is Friday, October 2. What we are looking for in a piece remains the same:

- We cover a broad range of subjects – politics and current events, literary and cultural criticism, book and film reviews, religion, philosophy, and history. We are also looking for short, reflective personal essays on pertinent cultural and political topics.

- In brief, we are looking for articles that are articulate, well argued, and generally interesting – essays in the original sense of the term: thoughtful attempts, not academic papers.

- To send in a piece for consideration, please email it as an editable Word document to [email protected] and include your year and major, or other relevant biographical information if you are not a UChicago student.

- There is no upper word limit for submissions, however we would like them to be at least 1,000 words in order to allow for the full development of a topic. In your piece, please cite fully with endnotes rather than footnotes. We do not accept submissions that have been published elsewhere.

To get a better sense of The Midway Review, it may also be helpful to check out our past issues, which can be downloaded as PDFs from our website's archive (http://midwayreview.uchicago.edu/archive/).

Please feel free to send any questions, ideas, or thoughts that you might have to our email, [email protected].
