The Lascaux Review seeks fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction

The Lascaux Review accepts fictionpoetry, and creative nonfiction of literary quality. Book excerpts are welcome.
Writing of literary quality venerates the language and speaks to the human condition. We make no effort to define these terms—we know it when we see it. The definition doesn’t exclude genre fiction: a story about love between two shape-shifting police detectives can take place on Titan as long as it venerates the language and speaks to the human condition.
Poetry should be formatted conventionally, without inline gaps or other structural elements that can’t be detected by an audience during a public reading. We understand there is call for experiments in form and content, but they’re not for us.
Creative nonfiction may include memoirs, chronicles, personal essays, humorous perspectives, literary journalism—anything the author has witnessed, experienced, learned, or discovered. Creative nonfiction should be written in a nonacademic style.
Submit as many as five poems at a time; patch them into one document. Prose pieces may be any length, but efficient writing is favored. There is no submission fee. Wait until you have heard back from one submission before sending another. We consider previously published material and we assume all submissions are simultaneous. Please indicate you’ve read the submission guidelines in the space labeled “Anything Else?” Artists wishing to show us their work should email a link to their online gallery to lascauxreview at gmail dot com.
Submissions are read year round. Accepted pieces are published on a rolling basis. Because editors are dispersed geographically the review is unable to accept submissions via postal mail. If our reply is “waitlisted” by an email filtering service it will not reach you. Please make sure Submittable is on your safe list. If the general submission portal fails to appear when you visit Submittable it’s because the maximum number of submissions have been received for the month. The portal will reopen on the first of the next month.
The review accepts work for nonexclusive appearance and archiving on its website. Authors retain all rights at all times. FAQ for the paranoid may be found here. The following link will take you to our online submission form at Submittable:
