The Quasar Review: Issue 16 Gold Star Program Gold Star Free

1. Poetry

We are looking for poetry that, quite simply, makes you stop and think. We want poems that are world-changing. Poems must be 1-3 pages long.

2. Short Fiction
We want 250-1500 words of short fiction that does not attempt to say everything. While remaining brief, the piece must fundamentally change a reader's perspective on life. It must be strong.

3. Commentary (Nonfiction)

We crave commentary on cultural trends and past experiences. Something that is not on the front cover of the news, in essence. Commentary must be 500 to 2500 words long.

4. Artwork/Photography

Please send 1-5 digital artworks or photographs. We prefer colorful, out-of-this-world styles (see Koichi Sato's work).

Simultaneous submissions are allowed; please inform us if your piece is published elsewhere.
