Northridge Review is a literary & arts journal of the present, produced by students at California State University, Northridge and featuring work of CSUN (students, staff, and alumni) writers and artists alongside work from the greater Los Angeles area. Submissions from beyond this local community will be returned unread.

Founded in 1962, Northridge Review invites submissions of prose, poetry, drama, art, and hybrid texts from across disciplines that test the boundaries of form, content, and genre by exploring the current literary and cultural climate in thoughtful and challenging ways. 

All work is considered anonymously, so please remove any identifying information from your manuscript.

Please note: This magazine is published by the students in the CSUN course ENGL 412: Literary Magazine. Our process is to accept work at the end of the semester for publication in the following semester. This means if you submit in Spring, your work is published in the following Fall issue if it is accepted, and if you submit in Fall, your work is published in the following Spring if it is accepted.
