When applying to The Ekphrastic Review, anchor your materials around clear conceptual intent, practical feasibility, and why your work resonates with their specific curatorial scope. Avoid generic career retrospectives and follow all technical requirements strictly.

Show us the ways art has changed you and turned your world upside down. We love poetry. But we want more ekphrastic flash fiction, more microfiction, more prose poetry—more small fictions of every kind. We also want more translations of ekphrastic works from other languages.
