Editorial Focus

MORIA is a national online literary magazine with an all-student editorial board, based at Woodbury University in greater Los Angeles. It accepts poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction from emerging and established writers in the United States and across the world. It publishes twice a year, in the late fall and late spring.

Tips From the Editor

While we accept all styles—including experimental, hybrid, and conventional forms—we aren’t interested in submissions of light verse, genre fiction, and any piece that references gratuitous violence or exploitative sexual imagery. We’re committed to publishing a diverse range of poets and writers. We also published pieces from writers in their twenties to writers in their seventies—and every decade in between. We welcome work from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women writers, indigenous writers, writers of color, writers who identify as LGBTQIA+, and writers with disabilities.
