Louisiana Literature accepts journal submissions exclusively through Submittable

All submissions to Louisiana Literature journal should be double-spaced (except for poetry). Use margins of at least one inch, and be sure to put your name on each page of the manuscript.

Please wait for a response before submitting another manuscript. Also, we ask that you submit work in only one category at a time. Multiple or concurrent submissions will be returned unread.

Louisiana Literature is happy to read simultaneous submissions (please inform us as soon as possible if work is accepted elsewhere), but we will not consider work that has been published before, including personal blog publications. We endeavor to respond to all submissions within 30-45 days.

Please Note: At this time, Louisiana Literature Press cannot accept unsolicited submissions of full-length or chapbook manuscripts, nor can we consider queries for manuscripts. Open reading periods for these categories will be announced on this website and through our social media accounts whenever the press is accepting submissions.
