About

9 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Bicoastal Review is a literary journal of poetry, creative nonfiction, interviews, art, and photography that aims to foster cross-genre conversations between readers and contributors, particularly on themes related to the U.S. East Coast and West Coast. They publish writing that offers a lens into varied schools of thought and showcases epiphany and mastery of language – to highlight the movements, ruptures, and allegiances happening simultaneously on opposite ends of the nation. Writers and artists from anywhere in the world are welcome to submit. Bicoastal Review particularly welcomes ekphrastic works that imitate, borrow, challenge, or are in conversation with any piece they have previously published.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. The fee is USD $3.
