Searching for the outstanding. CausewayLit is an online literary journal that is edited and published by the graduate students of the Fairfield University Masters of Fine Arts Program. Our mission is to provide a platform for outstanding works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry to writers at all stages of their careers. Writers whose work has been featured in CausewaLit have gone on to publish stories in Kenyon Review, Crazyhorse, and Barrelhouse, to name a few.  

We are currently accepting submissions for Poetry, Fiction, and Non-fiction. We do not accept translated submissions of other writers or poets. Please read the relevant guidelines carefully.
