Profile

Mithila Review was founded by Salik Shah in late 2015 with the editorial support from Ajapa Sharma and Isha Karki.[6] The inaugural issue of the magazine was launched in March 2016.[7] It adopted a quarterly publishing schedule, and became a paying market in October 2016.[8] Every issue of Mithila Review is available to read online. Mithila Review relies primarily on donations and subscriptions as a source of funding through Patreon.[9]

Salik Shah believes that the Mithila Review attempts to "decentre science fiction in an Anglo-centric, Euro-centric milieu".[10]

Awards

Mary Soon Lee won third prize in the Rhysling Award 2018 in the Long Poem category. The poem was originally published in Issue 9 of the Mithila Review.[11][12]
