About Us

At The Lumiere Review, a nonprofit literary magazine, we strongly believe that all creative voices should be heard through a platform to shine light on every story, idea, and experience. We are intrigued by the inextinguishable sparks of truth and connection, the effervescent meddling of narrative, and the luminous creations that expand on perceptions of genre, language, and form. After all, we aspire to be the brightest magazine around.

We accept writing and art submissions on a rolling basis. Genres include poetry, prose, and artwork, but we also welcome experimental and hybrid submissions. We read submissions from everyone regardless of age and background. We publish quarterly in March, June, September, and December. If you are interested in submitting to Lumiere, do check out our Submission Guidelines.
