Indiana Review, a literary journal affiliated with Indiana University, opens its general fiction submission window to writers working in the short story and flash fiction forms. The journal has a long-standing reputation for publishing emerging and established voices, and this call reflects its ongoing commitment to literary fiction that is crafted with attention to language, structure, and emotional resonance. The submission guidelines are precise: prose up to 6,000 words, double-spaced in 12-point font with numbered pages, or up to three flash pieces under 1,000 words each in a single document. These parameters signal a curatorial preference for work that is polished, considered, and ready for editorial engagement. While no monetary prize is attached, publication in Indiana Review offers writers a place in a respected literary annual and the opportunity to reach a discerning readership. The $3 reading fee is a modest barrier, consistent with the operational realities of many independent literary magazines. The journal does not specify a theme, which suggests an openness to a wide range of aesthetic approaches—from traditional realism to experimental forms—provided the work demonstrates mastery of the short fiction craft. For the submitting writer, this call represents a chance to place work in a journal that values literary merit over trend. The absence of a thematic constraint places the burden of coherence on the submission itself: the story must stand on its own, without the scaffolding of a special issue. The editorial team at Indiana Review has historically favored narratives with a strong sense of voice, a clear command of pacing, and an underlying intellectual or emotional inquiry. Writers should consider this an invitation to submit their most fully realized work, not a draft in progress.
