The Sun Also Rises in the West

The Los Angeles Review, an annual print and online literary journal established in 2003, is the voice of Los Angeles, and the voice of the nation. With its multitude of cultures, Los Angeles roils at the center of the cauldron of divergent literature emerging from the West Coast. Perhaps from this place something can emerge that speaks to the writer or singer or dancer or wild person in all of us, something disturbing, something alive, something of the possibility of what it could be to be human in the 21st century. We invite both published and emerging writers to submit their work to our editors, and we thank you for being part of the Los Angeles Review.

Letter from the Editors Regarding the Online Transition

Dear valued Los Angeles Review readers, contributors, and supporters,

The editors of the Los Angeles Review are excited to announce the launch of a free weekly online journal accompanied by a purchasable best-of annual print edition. This new format will provide our contributors the exposure they deserve, as a growing number of readers find literary communities online.

June 2017 marks LAR’s online celebratory launch month, wherein we will release one new piece of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, translation, or book review each day for thirty days. Following this month-long launch, LAR will transition to publishing approximately three pieces each week.

In addition to its new weekly online journal, LAR will publish a printed and bound book as an annual best-of edition, to premier each year in spring at the Association of Writers and Writing Programs conference. This for-purchase edition will include only the very best: all award-winning pieces from the LAR bi-annual literary awards series, highlights from the online journal, and new pieces collected by powerhouse guest editors you will not want to miss.

The values of the Los Angeles Review remain intact and we hope that this transition will embolden our ability to champion writers, both established and emerging, who bring out the best in creative literature.

Thank you for your continued support,

Staff Editors
The Los Angeles Review
