The Santa Clara Review is thrilled to announce that Volume 113.1 will feature writing and art focused on California. As one of the oldest literary magazines in California, we invite you to consider the vast geographic, cultural, political, and technological landscapes of the world’s fourth largest economic region. From Hollywood to the Mojave, from the redwoods to Silicon Valley, from migrant workers to tech bros, California offers dreams and illusions for everyone. We prompt you with this: What are your perceptions, your dreams, your experiences of California? Any and all works about The Golden State—past, present, and future—will be considered.
The Santa Clara Review publishes a wide variety of work from all over the world. Our magazine is open to all and is especially interested in writing and art from Black writers, Indigenous writers, LGBT+ writers, and writers of color. Writers–send us your best poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction, including flash pieces, humor, satire, short screenplays and plays, and hybrid works. Visual artists–send us your art of any kind, including photography, painting, sculpture, drawings, collage, and textile creations.
We accept prose, poetry, and art via Submittable. Please submit works of fiction or nonfiction prose under 6,000 words. Please submit no more than five poems or pieces of artwork at a time. Simultaneous submissions are allowed, as long as we are notified immediately if the piece is accepted for publication elsewhere.
Submissions will open September 1st. For further submission guidelines and details, please visit https://santaclarareview.com/.
