About The Zodiac Review

The Zodiac Review was launched in 2011 to provide a quality venue for readers and new, emerging and established writers of literary/genre fiction—the merger of literary fiction and any genre that joins it.

A significant number of readers and writers are increasingly searching for that certain something that’s missing from both the strictly guarded world of purely literary fiction and the many worlds of sharply defined genre fiction: a publishing home where the two realms meet. The need for a hospitable publication in hybrid territory is growing. The Zodiac Review is here to meet that need.

We have termed this wonderful blend of writing “literary/genre fiction.” You may know it as slipstream, hybrid or genre-bending fiction, or you may think of it as we do: darn good writing that pulls you in and keeps you there well beyond the final words.

Writers: For more information on what our editors and reviewers look for, please go to Submissions.

For a thoughtful essay on the definition of literary fiction, we recommend a visit to selfishshellfish.wordpress.com/what-in-the-world-is-literary-fiction/.

A unique literary magazine with free, meaningful feedback

Here new and emerging writers will find a writing studio of sorts as well as a receptive venue for publication. Editors provide free, personal feedback for all submissions by way of comments that go far beyond the typical boilerplate response...and far beyond the sort of comment that is no response at all.

Zodiac can facilitate communications among its readers and writers, which, along with the feedback service, results in a community that is essentially a free writers’ workshop for crafting high quality short fiction. To send a note or comment to a writer or editor, please go to contact.

We have no reading fee or any hidden charges for anything whatsoever.
