What I'm Looking For
Skilled, challenging works of short fiction and nonfiction.
Sample Titles or Authors
Recent successful writers in our pages include Kevin Wilson, Mariana Enríquez, and Dina Nayeri.
Specializes In
Short fiction and nonfiction. Our aesthetic is quite eclectic and has a slight international bent, but we're open to longer short stories and essays than most literary magazines and primarily are just seeking skilled and interesting work of any kind.
