About

Ishaan Literary Review publishes works of poetry and short fiction. In general, the editors of Ishaan are fans of work with heart, passion, and purpose. We also enjoy wit and humor. Skill is important, but – being the products of them ourselves – we can smell a “workshopped” piece a mile away; we would rather have the version you liked over the version your workshop democratically beat into submission. It should go without saying, but please be sure to read a couple of our issues to get a feel for what we like. Which is not to say we want more of the same, but at least it gives you a place to start. Truly, we look forward to reading your stuff!
