21 Stars Review

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive.

About

21 Stars Review is an electronic journal of poetry and prose from new and established writers, with a focus on new writers. We strive to publish work of the highest quality. How this looks in practice, of course, depends entirely on the biases, tastes, and other quirks of the editors. We have a strong leaning toward work that uses constraints, innovative meter and form, or carefully executed collage/cut-up techniques. Prose with amazing sentences will be preferred over prose with unamazing sentences. Plotless or intricately-plotted very short fiction (ideally under 1000 words) is also something we enjoy. Of course, it's quite easy to write work that uses constraints, meter, carefully executed collage/cut-up techniques, prose with amazing sentences, or plotless or intricately-plotted very short fiction. The hard part is making it compelling--something a reader will want to read again and again. In other words, please send us work we'll want to archive forever.
