SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
The editorial board reviews submissions on a rolling basis. Thus, we accept
submissions by electronic mail year-round. Please do not send previously published
work. We accept simultaneous submissions, but ask that you notify the respective
editor immediately when your submission has been accepted elsewhere.

Fiction | Attn: Christine Lee Zilka
Short stories, novel excerpts, experimental or interpretive works of fiction, flash
fiction and micro-fiction pieces fall under our category of fiction. You do not have to
be of APIA descent, but we ask that if work is either written by APIA writers or the
content of your work be APIA-related; in no way do we require APIA writers only
write APIA themes or characters. We give due consideration to all submissions
written, but we prefer work under 5,000 words. Please send us your best work.
Poetry | Attn: Eugenia Leigh
Narrative, experimental, lyrical or prose poetry, free verse, eastern or western poetic
forms, and works meant as spoken word are all welcome as poetry. We give due
consideration to all submissions, but we strongly prefer poems under 100 lines and
would like to receive 4-6 pieces per submission. Please send us your best crafted
poems.
Nonfiction | Attn: Jennifer Derilo
For creative nonfiction, we are particularly interested in works (memoir, reportage,
letters, essay, etc.) that touch on themes including--but not limited to--identity,
memory, family, culture, history, trauma, dislocation. Alternative formats and
subject matter are nonetheless welcome. We give due consideration to all
submissions, but we strongly prefer works under 7,500 words.
