 ‘A lively and gorgeously printed
‘small’ magazine of work by lovers of
France and things French who do
and do not reside there.’
Fred Johnston, Director, The
Western Writers’ Centre, Galway

'The French Literary review is a
smart magazine with a new, unusual
spin: high quality prose and poetry
written in English, but with a
connection to France. There is a
satisfying coherence in the magazine because of its consistent link to the country and language, and this, combined with a wide range of styles and approaches make it an exciting and unique publication.'
Jacqueline Saphra - poet, playwright and screenwriter
‘Love of good writing, love of France, the French and all things rustique. That's what you need to run The French Literary Review... that and a sound editorial eye. Issue No. 10, for the most part, celebrates the 2008 Poetry Symposium held at the Château de Queille in the Ariège - a long weekend - a meeting of literary minds. Who is The Lady of Queille? What do they mean to us now, the Cathars and Baudelaire? Why drink Blanquette when you could have Champagne? Interesting ideas and fine writing. Subscribe, sit back, enjoy.’
Anne Stewart, Founder of the poetrypf website www.poetrypf.co.uk
 A twice-yearly (April & October) international literary magazine of poetry and prose, The French Literary Review aims to bring together writers not only from France but also to welcome anyone in the world who has a French connection in their writing.
The magazine is in A5 format and is stapled. We publish in black and white, with a cream cover, in the tradition of French academic publications. In every issue, two or three pieces of writing are selected for illustration. ( See illustrations on this page by Russi Dordi, Barry Elphick and Lynne Mitchell.) There is also a reviews section.
 We welcome lively, contemporary
writing: poems, short stories, articles and
extracts from novels which stand on their
own - all of which should have a French
connection.
Contributors have included Ann
Drysdale, William Oxley, Carole
Satyamurti, Gregory Warren Wilson,
Fred Johnston, Jacqueline Saphra, Maggie Butt, Nicole Lemaire d'Agaggio, Nigel Humphreys, Graham High, Anne Stewart, Wendy French and Valerie Josephs, amongst others.
We regret that fees cannot be paid for work published since The French Literary Review is a non-profit making journal which relies solely on subscriptions.
