Editorial Focus
Litro USA is the U.S. edition of Litro, founded in London in 2005. The U.S. organisation was established as a New York–based 501(c)(3) in 2018. It publishes fiction, creative nonfiction, and translation with an emphasis on international voices, cultural exchange, and formally assured writing that situates the personal within broader social, political, or historical contexts. Submissions are open year-round, with a planned pause in August.
Tips From the Editor
Poetry is considered on a limited, primarily commissioned basis. For fiction, creative nonfiction, and translation, please submit one piece per submission and include a brief third-person bio. Simultaneous submissions are accepted; please notify us promptly if the work is placed elsewhere.
