Message from the Southland Alibi Team

Every dream starts in the mind of one inspired visionary. Charlie Jensen—poet, author, instructor, and Director of the Writers’ Program—is the heart and soul behind Southland Alibi. But making any dream a reality requires a team. We are exceptionally proud of and  grateful for the contributions of so many contributing editors, instructors, students, and staff who have offered their time and talents to this publication.

Today, our team of genre editors and dozens of assistant editors provide tireless contributions, skills, and commitment to this work. I’d like to acknowledge specifically our genre editors:

Art Editors:

Aleesha Nash
Nikkita Mitchell

Fiction Editor:

Stephanie Fung

Nonfiction Editor:

Ying Le

We are honored to share the works art, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry we’ve selected with you. Please feel free to share links to the works online/on social media. If you’re interested in submitting to Southland Alibi, we are open for submissions year-round on a rolling basis and we do not charge a reading fee.

We hope you enjoy the work of creatives seeking to explore, share, and connect through art, fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Check this space often as we will publish new work on a rolling basis.

With gratitude,

Jeanne De Vita
Managing Editor
