The Good Life Review
June 2026 Update: Submissions for the Autumn issue are open for all genres (poetry, short cnf, & short fiction fees are $4; flash is $2.50.) Micro Monday subs are open for prose only (fee of $ 2.50). Currently closed to Art submissions.
Deadline: June 30, 2026
Work must be original, previously uncurated, and not generated by AI or with AI assistance. We gladly accept pieces that have previously only appeared on personal blogs and/or social media. Please reference this thoughtful article by Tim Green on the term curation.
We pay $60 per piece for writing published in seasonal issues and $25 for pieces appearing in our “Micro Monday” segment. We also pay $25 for artwork that is used on the cover of a seasonal issue. For international submissions, we are only able to send money via PayPal.
There is a $4 fee for submissions for our short prose and $2.50 for flash & micro prose (both one piece per submission).
We will respond to all submitted work. It may take from one to three months, depending on when in the reading period the work is submitted. Artwork may remain open for the duration of a calendar year. Thank you in advance for your patience.
We do not publish offensive work or pieces that exhibit hatred directed toward a particular gender, race, ethnicity, ability, sexual identity, socioeconomic class, or disability. In other words, if you are an asshole, we don’t want your writing or your money.
The Good Life Review acquires First North American Serial Rights and the right to maintain an archive copy of the work online. All other rights revert to the author upon publication, with a request that if the work is reprinted, appropriate acknowledgment to The Good Life Review is made.
If you have an issue with the fee because of financial hardship or difficulties with the submission platform, please send a message to:
editors@thegoodlifereview.com
Note: Current UNO MFA students and recent (within the last 3 years) UNO MFA graduates/affiliates are not eligible.
General Guidelines:
We accept submissions via Submittable. Any received via email or post will not make it into the queue of our editorial teams.
Simultaneous submissions are cool, cool. If accepted elsewhere, please withdraw in Submittable.
If there are content warnings, please include those in the submitted document(s) preceding the piece(s).
Except for poetry and art, each submission should contain only one story or essay. If you want to send more than one piece, multiple submissions are acceptable.
We prefer to read blind, so please remove your name from the submitted document.
Your submission will not be disqualified if it was submitted incorrectly. If we have a question or concern about your submission, we will contact you. Please know that we are on your side. Thank you for trusting us with your work.
Again, work must be original and absolutely fabulous! We want your very best!!
