Indiana Review, a long-standing literary magazine affiliated with Indiana University, opens its general reading period for creative nonfiction. The journal has historically served as a platform for emerging and established voices, and this call reflects its ongoing commitment to the essay as a vital form. Submissions are accepted online, with a firm deadline of October 31, 2026. A modest fee of $3 (300 cents USD) is required to submit. The editors seek creative nonfiction up to 6,000 words, with a preference for double-spaced manuscripts in 12-point font and numbered pages. Additionally, up to three pieces of flash prose, each under 1,000 words, may be included in a single document. This structure allows writers to present either a sustained narrative or a suite of shorter works, accommodating a range of approaches within the genre. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in Indiana Review carries the weight of a respected literary journal with a national readership. The journal's curatorial vision emphasizes craft, voice, and the thoughtful treatment of real-life experience. Writers should note that the fee is a barrier to entry, but it supports the journal's operations and editorial process. The absence of a themed prompt suggests an openness to a wide array of nonfiction subjects and styles.
