​

Will my work get published if it includes explicit or sensitive content?

The Bayou Review works under the guidelines of the University of Houston-Downtown, therefore there is certain language and content that is not allowed. Although we promote artistic creativity, work that is hateful or praises abuse, violence, or discrimination cannot be published. If there are minor changes that can make the work acceptable, our team will contact you with suggested edits. 

 

What if I don’t approve the edits?
The Bayou Review works to present the best version of the magazine for all the contributors involved. If edits are not approved, your work may not be published by The Bayou Review.
