What they accept

The Louisville Review publishes two issues a year and, for its 100th issue, read standard and flash fiction and hybrid prose of up to 3,500 words, plus a separate long-form fiction category of about 4,000–7,000 words, with no submission fee. That call has closed because its caps — 100 fiction and 50 long-form submissions — were met, and no reopening date is stated. Only unpublished work is considered, simultaneous submissions are allowed with immediate withdrawal on acceptance elsewhere, work made with any form of AI is not accepted, and contributors receive a complimentary copy.
