the journal seeks to publish bold and incisive writing that interrogates not only the complexities of the human experience, but also the prevailing social challenges of our time.
We publish nonfiction that involves discovery for the reader and the writer, creating a dynamic of mutual construction through literary dialogue.
In flash fiction and nonfiction, we’re looking for all the emotional impact of a 20-page narrative in 1,000 words or less. Editors read for narrative flash that has beginnings, middles, and endings, as well as sentences that contain entire worlds.

Review
Field Notes is Porter House Review’s craft blog. We are interested in pieces that use the intimacy of a personal essay to explore the ins and outs of the literary world: craft, publishing, conferences, writing programs, and so on. We are looking for work that illuminates the writing life and demystifies the mechanics of writing and publishing. We especially aim to help break down barriers that exist for writers from marginalized backgrounds.

Review
We’re looking to publish reviews that are as voice-driven as they are incisive. Submissions should teach our readers as much about the minds composing them as they do about the text that is under consideration. While we primarily publish book reviews, we’re also interested in literary interrogations of non-traditional material such as music, film, television, and comic books. Reviews of newer books—received either before or within six months after the reviewed book’s publication date—are prioritized.
