Tulsa Review's general submissions for short prose constitute a focused call for a single work of no more than 3,000 words, encompassing short stories, flash fiction, personal essays, flash creative nonfiction, one-act plays, and screenplays. The journal's commitment to blind reading—where the author's name is excluded from both the manuscript and its file name—signals an editorial practice rooted in textual integrity rather than reputation. This is not a venue for multiple simultaneous submissions within the category; the review asks that writers wait for a response before submitting again, a protocol that respects both the reader's attention and the writer's own process of revision. The fee of $3.00 (300 cents USD) is modest and standard for many literary reviews, though it is a fee nonetheless. There is no prize attached to this call, nor is there a stated location or institutional affiliation beyond Tulsa Review itself. What the journal offers is publication—a space in a literary review that reads work on its own terms. The absence of a prize or a theme suggests an editorial vision open to a wide range of short prose forms, unified only by the constraint of length and the demand for a single, considered submission. For the writer, this is an opportunity to present one work in its most polished state, without the distraction of a thematic prompt or the pressure of a contest. The blind reading process places the entire weight of the submission on the writing itself: its voice, its structure, its capacity to hold a reader for up to 3,000 words. Tulsa Review does not promise discovery or transformation; it promises a fair reading. That is, in itself, a curatorial stance worth noting.
