At The Heduan Review, we want to uplift the voices of every kind of writer and make literary fiction writing more approachable. We look for authentic pieces of short fiction, poetry, and prose poetry, as well as nonfiction personal essays, that examine our unique identities as they manifest and complicate our lives.
Our forthcoming issue will be themed "Narratives of healing, reflection, and rebirth."
In essence, we are looking for pieces that explore how we experience change in the face of triumph over challenges and what it means to introspect. Whether through personal essays, poetry, short fiction, or analysis of another work, we look forward to delving into your pieces on the human condition. This theme is meant to be fluid to encompass any number of works and a wide variety of authorship; if you are unsure whether your piece fits, submit it anyway! Thank you for your continued support, and Happy New Year.
Submissions open January 8th, 12:00 am PST. Accepted works are paid 5¢ per word.
