NewForum accepts submissions of previously unpublished fiction, poetry, essays, and artwork. We are not interested in publishing works of genre fiction (i.e. romance, mystery, or science fiction); nevertheless, we are welcoming of writing that borrows elements from any of these styles.
Submissions are now open until February 1, 2025.
Please send us your work and/or inquiries at newforum@uci.edu.
