General Submissions

Puerto del Sol accepts general submissions from Sept 1st - May 1st. We may leave submissions open during the summer months, but this depends on the preferences of our editorial staff. We may also close general submissions at any time due to a high volume of submissions. Our literary magazine is staffed and managed by MFA graduate students who work only during the academic year; therefore, response times may take up to 6-8 months, and we thank you for your patience.

​

We encourage you to only submit to us once per year. While we do accept simultaneous submissions, notify us promptly should your work be accepted elsewhere. We do not consider previously published work.
