Zephyr Review: Now Seeking Submissions

Zephyr Review is a brand new quarterly online literary journal. Writers can submit up to three stories or poems. Stories have to be no more than 1,500 words.

They publish poetry, prose, fiction, flash fiction, nonfiction, and artwork. I’ve never seen prose and fiction separated into categories like this, and they never clarify the difference between the two. Because they have yet to publish a first issue, there are no examples online.

As a side note, they are also currently seeking a Poetry Editor, a Prose Editor, a Fiction Editor, and a Social Media Specialist.  You can learn more about these positions here.

In order to submit you need to be over 18, but that is the only requirement. Submissions must be made via email. They try to respond to all submissions within a month.

Emily Harstone is the author of many popular books, including The Authors Publish Guide to Manuscript SubmissionsSubmit, Publish, Repeat, and The 2021 Guide to Manuscript Publishers.

She regularly teaches three acclaimed courses on writing and publishing at The Writer’s Workshop at Authors Publish. You can follow her on Facebook here.
