The Daphne Review

The Daphne Review is an arts and literature magazine that features exceptional work by today’s young artists. “We want to encourage the rising artists of tomorrow, so we have cultivated a publication that serves as a creative outlet for students to voice their ideas, opinions, and talents.

We encourage original written submissions of any format (essay, interview, poem, short plays) and artistic submissions in any media. Share with us what you can create, and we may share it with the world.”

Even more exciting than the publication opportunities is the 2022 Daphne Online Mentorship Program! Each year they select 5-7 dedicated students to work with caring, accomplished professional writers on a 1-on-1 basis. 

Their mentee students have benefited greatly over the years. They’ve used the time to work on their existing body of work to get them published by literary magazines, win awards at Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, PYAA and eventually gain acceptance to top colleges!
