The Los Angeles Review - Fiction
(Poetry)
Description
Fiction: We’re looking for hard-to-put-down sequences of shorts or stand-alone lengthier stories in the 1,000 – 4,000 words range. Regardless of length, we always hope to see lively, vivid, excellent literary fiction.
Flash Fiction: We’re looking for shorts under 1,000 words that we want to read again and again. We’re looking for work that is lively, vivid, and leaves us wanting more. Additionally, please note our one-story limit per submission. While authors are more than welcome to submit multiple stories to LAR, we ask that they please submit them individually.
