Publication Rights: By submitting, you grant The Brussels Review first serial rights to your work. After publication, all rights revert to the author, and we request acknowledgment if the work is republished elsewhere.

Payment: We understand the challenges that writers, especially those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, face. So, to support these authors, we offer sometimes compensation, considered case-by-case, the details of which are decided by the Editorial Team. With the expansion of our reach, we will extend the compensations to all authors.

Editorial Process: Our editorial team conducts a rigorous review process to maintain the highest standards. Feedback may be provided for accepted works.
