Founded in 1957, Spectrum is the longest-running literary magazine in the UC system. We frequently receive and accept submissions from several other distinguished universities outside of the UC system, such as Sarah Lawrence College and Cornell University. Over the years, Spectrum has published work by luminaries like Barry Spacks, Alex Ortolani, Jervey Tervalon, Teddy Macker, Louisa Hall, William
Carlos Williams, Hugh Kenner, Sam Hamill, Jean Cocteau, Lydia Bird, and Raymond Carver. Spectrum Literary Magazine is currently accepting submissions for the theme perseverance. We accept art, poetry, fiction, non-fiction and hybrid works from everyone, regardless of age or school affiliation. Art can be either black and white or in color. Any form of poetry and any genre of fiction is allowed; non-fiction works can range from interviews, personal essays, and creative or scholarly essays. We accept submissions here: spectrum.ccs.ucsb.edu/submission-guidelines
2. Poetry: include poems in a single document. We will consider up to five poems.
3. Fiction & non-fiction: under twelve pages strongly recommended.
4. Hybrid: up to three shorter pieces or one longer piece. Please try to stay below twelve pages of text and/or images.
5. Please inform us of simultaneous submissions, and immediately notify us of withdrawal if your piece is accepted elsewhere.
