Cypress Review

Lyrical, contemplative, and contemporary works compel us. While poetry is our focus, we enjoy anything strange, surreal, and/or experimental (magical realism, speculative fiction, flash fiction, etc.). But we’re open to anything with heart.

Issue IV: poetry, fiction, art, photography Temp Closed

Edit to add: Writers, it says "submit one piece" on the DuoTrope side; please disregard this and send one attachment with everything you'd like to send in one file. Artists and photographers, you can attach your files separately. Please include your name in the title. Thanks!

We’re accepting fiction, poetry, photography, and art. Please note we'll always accept poetry but will cycle through other genres in each issue. There's a max of 5 pages total per submission. Send us unpublished work and only submit in one category per submission period.

For fiction and poetry: Please upload a single .doc/.docx/.pdf file with your piece(s). For poetry, combine all pieces into one file. The name of the file should be your full name.

For art and photography: Upload all pieces as separate .jpg/.png files. The name of the files should contain your full name.

A brief cover letter is optional, but please include a brief bio (50 words or less) with your full name that we can include if your work is published.

We’ll get back to you in 3-4 months. Feel free to query us after 4 months if you haven’t heard back. In some cases, you might hear back from us sooner. Simultaneous submissions are permitted, but please email us if you need to withdraw a piece that's been accepted elsewhere, and we will do so on our end so you don't have to pull the submission.

Please review the home page of our site before sending an inquiry. Email us at [email protected] if you have remaining questions or need assistance submitting after reading these guidelines. We're happy to help!

Please note we're unable to provide payment at this time since we're a volunteer-run operation.
