About

South 85 Journal

South 85 Journal is a semi-annual online literary journal run by the Converse University Low-Residency MFA Program. We publish fiction, non-fiction, poetry, interviews, and blog posts by new, emerging, and well-established writers. While we consider all quality work that follow the submission guidelines, we are especially interested in pieces that demonstrate a strong voice and/or a sense of place. We nominate for annual Best of the Net anthology and Pushcart prize. While we are unable to pay for work at present, published pieces are eligible for our Editor’s Choice Award of $100 which will be awarded to ONE piece in the issue.


So, write like mad, and if it’s good, we want to see it.
