Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Founded in 1985, ZYZZYVA publishes three issues of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and art each year. In every issue, the journal provides an overview of contemporary arts and letters, with a vibrant mix of established talents and new voices. The journal is dedicated to preserving room for discovery and experimentation, both through fostering emerging talents and by making space for established writers working in new forms. Though ZYZZYVA’s purview is national (and beyond), our San Francisco roots shape the journal’s perspective, and our longtime practice of highlighting West Coast writers and artists remains essential to our sense of mission. We publish writers from across the country and around the world, while always preserving space for those at work in our own backyard. In 2020, ZYZZYVA will celebrate 35 years of independent publishing.
