New Welsh Review brings you the very best new writing from Wales. Vibrant, engaging and unashamedly intelligent, each quarterly issue features writing talent from the literary heavyweights to rising new stars. From literary criticism, fiction, poetry and book reviews to theatre, performance, film and art, New Welsh Review casts a challenging, exuberant eye over the literary scene in Wales.

New Welsh Review’s focus is on Welsh writing in English, but its outlook is deliberately cosmopolitan, encompassing broader UK, European and international contexts. The magazine is a platform for debate; an opportunity for new writing talent; a chance to discover the vibrant, literary world of contemporary Wales.

Mae’r New Welsh Review yn cyhoeddi ysgrifennu newydd o Gymru o’r safon uchaf. Mae’r cylchgrawn bywiog a deallus hwn yn cynnig llwyfan yn chwarterol i lenorion sydd wedi hen ennill eu plwyf ac i dalent newydd fel ei gilydd. Trwy gyfrwng beirniadaeth lenyddol, ffuglen, barddoniaeth, adolygiadau, a ffocws ar theatr a’r celfyddydau gweledol, archwilia New Welsh Review ddiwylliant Cymru mewn ffordd heriol a ffres.

Mae’r cylchgrawn yn canolbwyntio ar lenyddiaeth Gymreig trwy gyfrwng y Saesneg, ond mae iddo ethos fwriadol gosmopolitanaidd sy’n lleoli Cymru o fewn cyd-destun ehangach y DU ac Ewrop.

Mynnwch olwg ar y rhifyn cyfredol ac ar yr ôl-rhifynnau; tanysgrifiwch neu brynwch gopïau ar-lein; darllenwch y canllawiau ynghylch cynnig gwaith; a sicrhewch lwyfan i’ch barn yn ein fforwm trafod.
