Submissions

The Alexander Review

Operates on a seasonal publishing cycle, opening and closing our fictional “stores” with each turn of the year. Every season we curate a new selection of writing that reflects the tone, emotion, and character of that moment in time. Our submission periods follow this rhythm: when a store opens, we invite writers to step inside and share their work; when it closes, our editors begin crafting the next issue. This seasonal structure allows our journal to evolve with intention, offering contributors multiple opportunities throughout the year to be part of a fresh, distinct literary collection.
