To our readers and writers:
The Zodiac Review is an international literary magazine currently publishing flash length fiction. Usually published online twice a year, the magazine has continued to be a source of enjoyment for readers and writers around the world. Throughout our evolving seasons we have published stories from six of the seven continents, clearly showing that we all are readers and writers without borders and humanitarians at heart despite our varied cultural and geographical backgrounds.
A unique literary magazine
New and emerging writers of short fiction will find us especially open to their work. All submitters -- their stories selected or not -- will get a speedy and personalized response.
New and renewed features
-
Story length: We publish flash fiction of 300 to 1,200 words. We no longer publish prose poetry but will welcome stories that straddle that blurry prose-poetry boundary. See Submissions page for complete guidelines.
-
Pushcart Prize: We plan to nominate at least one story annually. Readers are encouraged to suggest stories for nomination. See Pushcart Prize page for instructions.
Best wishes to all,
The staff at The Zodiac Review
