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.
The editorial staff is dedicated to supporting work that represents diverse viewpoints and experiences and that may also cross boundaries of genre and form.
Please submit work via: writersprogram.submittable.com/submit
