CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Santa Clara Review accepts submissions from September-October for our first annual issue and from January-February for our second annual issue.
Submissions for Volume 113.1 are open! The deadline to submit has been extended toOctober 30, 2025.
This volume will feature writing and art focused on California. As one of the oldest literary magazines in California, we invite you to consider the vast geographic, cultural, political, and technological landscapes of the world’s fourth largest economic region. We prompt you with this: What are your perceptions, your dreams, your experiences of California? Any and all works about The Golden State—past, present, and future—will be considered.
We accept prose, poetry, and art via Submittable.
Please submit works of fiction or nonfiction prose under 6,000 words. Please submit no more than five poems or pieces of artwork at a time. Simultaneous submissions are allowed, as long as we are notified immediately if the piece is accepted for publication elsewhere.
