Submission Status Tracker
At The Literary Times, we believe submission should never feel like silence. Every piece that reaches us enters a careful editorial process: read, considered, and discussed with intention. Therefore we created a free submission status tracker for our submitters. This page allows you to track the status of your submission at any time.
Enter the full name used during submission to view your current status.
*statuses are updated weekly. was last updated on May 23, 2026.
HOW TO USE STATUS TRACKER:
- Click the link given above, to open the submission status tracker.
- Enter your name in the field provided (e.g: Chris Beltworth).
- Click the “Check Status” button TWICE.
- Your submission status and their relevant details will be displayed instantly.
STATUS MEANING:
- Withdrawn – Your submission has been withdrawn by you.
- Accepted – Your submission has been approved.
- Rejected – Your submission was not accepted.
- Under Review – Your submission is currently being reviewed by our team.
- Received – Your submission has been received but has not yet been reviewed.
Important Notes:
Because submissions are indexed by name:
- Please use the exact name used in your submission form
- Avoid abbreviations or nicknames
- If you submitted multiple pieces under different name formats, results may vary
- Submission Status Tracker does not provide status information on staff applications and contests
If you cannot find your submission:
- Check whether you used a middle name or initials
- Try alternate spellings
