Blue Seagull Review is a literary magazine for "dream fiction" -- surreal short stories and flash fiction that read as if straight from a dream

We’re looking for writing that makes us think. We welcome writing from all genres, although we are particularly fond of stories with some sort of fantastical aspect. We love clever ideas, colorful prose, and interdisciplinary stories (stories that draw parallels between or inspiration from other disciplines, like mathematics, science, philosophy, history, or art).

Most of all, we want writing that feels as though it came straight from a dream. Blue Seagull Review is aimed at cultivating a collection of dream fiction: work that feels surreal, liminal, or too strange for a clear description. If ‘dream fiction’ feels like it could fit your work (even loosely!), we’d love to read it!

We currently accept flash fiction (under 1000 words) and short stories (typically 1000-7500 words, though this is not a hard limit).
