wait, you can now check your submission status!?
Hey lit fam!,
We’ve got something very cool for you, and yes, it’s made by us, duh!
As you know, at The Literary Times we only respond to accepted submissions. That means a lot of you send emails asking about your submission status and honestly, we just don’t have the time to reply to every single one.
So… we made a solution: introducing the Submission Status Tracker! Whoo-hoo!
Now, whether you submitted yesterday or a year ago, you can check the status of your work anytime, instantly (for free).
How to Use It:
1. Click the Submission Status Tracker link. This is how the screen will appear:

2. Enter your name in the box.

3. Click the “Check Status” button.
4. Voila! All your submitted works and their details will appear.

It’s that easy!
Important Notes:
★ Contest submissions, features/interviews or staff applications are not included in this tracker.
★ It’s completely free and fully respects your privacy.
★ Plus, if you notice any errors, don’t worry, we’re here to fix them! Just drop us an email.
What the Status Means:
- Accepted → Your work has been selected!
- Rejected→ Sorry, it didn’t make the cut this time.
- In Process → Your submission is currently under review.
- Received → We’ve received your submission, but it hasn’t been reviewed yet.
We hope this makes life easier for all our contributors, and hey, isn’t it amazing to check your submissions whenever you want without waiting for an email?
Go ahead and try it now!
