Pacifica Literary Review

Fiction and creative nonfiction submissions should be under 5,000 words, paginated and double-spaced. Please include the title on the first page of your submission. Novel excerpts are acceptable, but must be able to stand alone. Flash fiction submissions should be less than 1,000 words individually. Please include no more than three separate pieces in one document; do not submit each flash piece individually. For poetry, submit up to three poems in a single document. 

Our general reading period is open year-round. Pacifica will close submissions for two weeks at the beginning of September, January, and May for the production of our web issues, after which the portals will reopen as usual.
