Zodiac Review
Open nowAbout the magazine
Editorial focus
The Zodiac Review is a quality magazine for new, emerging and established writers of “literary/genre” fiction, the merger of literary fiction and any genre that cares to join it. You may know this blend of writing as “slipstream,” “hybrid,” or “genre-bending” fiction. Its unique features are its commitment to providing meaningful critiques of all submissions and its quick response to submissions.
Submitting your work
Before submitting, read at least one full issue to understand the journal's aesthetic and thematic range. They favor work that treats astrological or celestial motifs with originality and depth, avoiding clichés or straightforward horoscope poetry. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but notify immediately if accepted elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter that contextualizes your submission within the journal's interests. Response times vary, typically 4-8 weeks; query after 10 weeks if you haven't heard back.
Flash fiction should be between 300 to 1,200 words.
