About the magazine

Founded in 2008, Acentos Review is a quarterly online literary and arts journal dedicated to showcasing the work of Latino, Latina, Latinx, and Indigenous writers and artists. Its founding ethos stems from a commitment to amplify voices that have historically been marginalized in mainstream literary spaces, providing a platform for diverse narratives that reflect the complexity of Latinx experiences across the Americas. The journal publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art, with a particular emphasis on work that engages with themes of identity, migration, language, and social justice. By maintaining a rigorous yet inclusive editorial vision, Acentos Review has become a vital space for both emerging and established voices, fostering a community that values artistic excellence and cultural authenticity.

Editorial focus

The Acentos Review publishes poetry, fiction, memoir, interviews, translations, and artwork by emerging and established Latinx writers, artists, and creatives four times a year. It welcomes submissions in English, Spanish, Spanglish, Portuguese, and indigenous languages. Reviews, interviews, and translations are the only areas in which it publishes those who do not identify as Latinx themselves.

Before submitting, carefully review the journal's submission guidelines on their website, noting that they accept work in both English and Spanish, as well as bilingual pieces. They typically read submissions during specific reading periods, so check their schedule to avoid missing deadlines. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify them immediately if your work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief bio that highlights your cultural background and writing experience, as this helps contextualize your work. While they welcome experimental and hybrid forms, ensure your submission aligns with their mission of amplifying Latinx and Indigenous voices. Proofread meticulously, as they receive a high volume of submissions and attention to detail can make your work stand out.

Read the submission guidelines closely. All those who submit are required to answer the prompt: “Being Latinx means ...” Submissions without these statements must be declined.
