Florida Review — Submissions

Overview
The Florida Review is a literary magazine published by the University of Central Florida, with a history of presenting contemporary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. Its editorial scope is national and international, and it has been a venue for both emerging and established voices. The journal appears in print and, in recent years, has expanded its digital presence, though the core submission categories remain fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. For writers, the review offers publication in a respected literary annual, with the attendant benefits of editorial collaboration, a readership that includes writers and critics, and the opportunity to place work alongside that of other serious practitioners. The journal does not charge a submission fee, according to its guidelines, though this detail should be confirmed on the website. The review does not sponsor a contest with a cash prize; it is a general submission call. The curatorial vision of The Florida Review is grounded in literary craft and a broad aesthetic range. The editors seek work that demonstrates formal control, emotional resonance, and intellectual curiosity, without adherence to a single school or trend. The rolling deadline means that submissions are considered on an ongoing basis, though response times may vary. Writers are advised to familiarize themselves with recent issues to understand the journal's tastes and editorial priorities.
