We’re looking for shorts of 1,000 words or less that we want to read again and again. We’re looking for work that is lively, vivid, and leaves us wanting more.


All submissions will be considered for the online edition of LAR, and for the best-of print issue set to be released every Spring. 

Please note: if submitting multiple pieces, each piece must be submitted separately. Submissions that do not follow this policy will not be considered.

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
