Additional info

We prioritize works by Black and Brown artists, writers, and poets. Do not submit more than once per submission period unless the editor requests to see more work. We do not accept work that sustains the traditional white literary Western canon that has continuously ignored and poised itself as an authority over the voices of the oppressed. We do not give a voice to stories from the perspectives of cisgender, heterosexual, white, upper-class males that continue this tradition. We also do not give a voice to feminist works that only consider white female perspectives. We enjoy reading and printing both English and Spanish language pieces. Payment. New 2022 Payment Guidelines: Poetry $25 for one (1) accepted poem; $50 for two (2) accepted poems; $75 for three (3) accepted poems. Fiction $100 for one (1) accepted short story. Nonfiction $100 for one (1) accepted essay, book review, or interview. Copies. Contributors receive a digital copy of the issue. Cntributors in the Los Angeles area receive a print copy.
