Profile

Mithila Review was founded by Salik Shah in late 2015 with the editorial support from Ajapa Sharma and Isha Karki. The inaugural issue of the magazine was launched in March 2016. It adopted a quarterly publishing schedule, and became a paying market in October 2016. 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.

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

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.
