About

56 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

The history of literature is a history of passion. Since its earliest iterations – in every age, from every corner of the world – language has been used to express, examine, and explore the human heart. The Passionfruit Review is a celebration of this: an online journal committed to making a home for love poetry.
Passionfruit seeks work which engages with love in the broadest possible sense: writing which seeks love out or runs screaming from it; which delights in, is bored of, resents, yearns for, abhors, or denies love.
We want to see ‘love poetry’ thrown wide open and to stretch our understanding of this age-old genre. We therefore publish poems which are easily recognised as love poetry alongside pieces which sit less comfortably here.
Every issue is primarily devoted to poetry, although there is always space for prose, short fiction and other creative pieces.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" and expedited responses.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
