Call for Submissions: Abraxas Review

Banner for Abraxas Review inaugural issue call for submissions


currently accepting submissions

Have a story you’ve been chewing on? A poem you’ve been mulling? A draft hanging out in the basement, ready to be set free into the world? Photography and art that’s ready for a grand entrance? Send it to us! Abraxas Review invites submissions between may 1 - july 1. We love reading work that strikes an intentional, but subtle message—work that haunts us, that keeps us thinking about it after we’ve read it. We seek poetry and prose with arresting emotional impact that’s achieved not by contrived figurative language, but language that surprises while serving a larger purpose. Send us your work that is authentic without being performative, that’s experimental without being pretentious and speaks to the humanity in all of us. Challenging genres and pushing boundaries is great fun, but we look for writing that’s inviting and accessible for an everyday reader rather than requiring lengthy explication in order to be understood. Get fancy, get weird, have fun—but do it with purpose!

Abraxas Review publishes once per year in September. We are currently accepting submissions for poetry, narrative nonfiction, short fiction, photography, and art.

submission deadline: july 1, 2023

Submit your work here.
