Editorial Focus

MicroLit, an online literary magazine, publishes fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and reviews—and on occasion, the editors devote themselves to special projects, like the Ukrainian Bulletin and Flowers of Evil. They collaborate with others in an attempt to bring light to what seems like dark times. They believe in the power of the word, and they count on the community of writers to address important issues, but they’re also driven by the joys found in imaginative prose and poetry.

Tips From the Editor

In addition to prose and poetry, we publish reviews of books published by small and independent presses. Please send your pitches to us!

Please include an author bio, artist’s statement, social media links, and website with your submission. We do not accept previously published work.
