3Elements Literary Review

Submitting your work

Before submitting, carefully review the current issue's three required elements and ensure your piece integrates them organically—forced or last-minute insertions are easily spotted. The journal accepts simultaneous submissions but expects prompt notification of acceptance elsewhere. Reading past issues is strongly advised to gauge the range of interpretations and the level of craft expected. Response times are typically within a few months; query only after that window. There are no fees for standard submissions, though expedited options may exist.

Please refer to our website to view our submission guidelines in their entirety. Each issue begins with the posting of three elements, and ends with a journal filled with the imaginative ways in which each writer and artist transformed those elements. We exist to inspire creativity. We, as well as our readers, thoroughly enjoy the journey on which each piece takes us, as no one story or poem is ever the same.
