Horizon Review is accepting submission for Issue 2 until November 2, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. (PST). We accept submissions of literature (poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction), visual art and open media from residents of the Southwest (New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma).
We accept submissions from both established and emerging artists. We believe art is revolutionary. We love stories that speak deeply about the spectral complexity of being human. We want to hear about the mundane as much as the fantastical and look for pieces we can chew on. We want pieces with more questions than answers. Make us think, make us feel, break our hearts, or bring us hope. We love pieces that show us a horizon: a meeting place, a fusion, a future, a light, or something looming.
We encourage submissions from all creatives, including those underrepresented in publishing, for example, Indigenous artists, artists of color, LGBTQ+ artists, and artists with disabilities.
Submissions are free, with the option for an expedited response for $15USD. We accept submissions of up to two genres (one submission per genre), as well as simultaneous submissions. Contributors are compensated with $25/piece accepted and a contributor copy of Issue 2.
