The Coachella Review is the online literary journal for the University of California, Riverside Palm Desert Graduate Center’s Low Residency MFA in Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts program. We accept work that is well-constructed, thoughtful, even experimental. But always must be from the gut. It doesn’t matter to us if you tell it or film it. We want nothing less than your truth in the form of fiction, narrative nonfiction, poetry and film shorts. Film submissions should be emailed to film@thecoachellareview.com.

Since we accept submissions on a rolling basis, you really never miss a deadline. In your submission please tell us if you’ve never been published before. We’ll make a big deal about it.
