Portland Review is now accepting submissions in all genres. Please send us your poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, book reviews, and genre-bending work. The window for submission will close on Monday, November 3, but we may close the submission for a genre early if we reach our cap before the official closing date.

At Portland Review, we are looking for writing that is willing to push boundaries and subvert traditional expectations. We’re looking for works from all walks of life and would like to lift voices from those communities that are historically marginalized. We want the work that may be hard to categorize, experimental, or difficult to explain. Send us work that surprises you in its use of language; send us pieces that reject traditional formal rules. We want it all!

Check our Submittable page for more details about each genre’s submission requirements.

We look forward to reading your submissions!
