Now Accepting Submissions

Southland Alibi is the student-run literary journal published by the Writers’ Program at UCLA Extension.

We seek high quality works of art, fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. We do not charge submission fees and publish on a rolling basis year-round.

We welcome work from established as well as emerging creatives that will make us laugh, cry, love, or nod our heads in the wonderment or bewilderment of life.

About Our Name

“Southland” identifies us as a strong regional literary presence in our part of California, where we intend to both contribute to and shape the literary landscape, conversation, and community. “Alibi” is a wink of a reference to the film Double Indemnity, in which characters use “taking night classes at UCLA” as an alibi.
