45th Parallel

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

45th Parallel submissions are now closed for the Pandemic Resilient Cities Sci-Fi Contest.


Here are our guidelines for future standard submissions:


45th Parallel is an online Oregon-based literary magazine produced by graduate students at Oregon State University. We accept original, previously unpublished submissions in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, and comics. We do our best to respond to all work within three to six months. If you still haven’t heard from us after six months, feel free to contact us regarding the status of your submission.

We do accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know as soon as your work becomes unavailable so we can remove it from consideration.

Please format and proofread your work carefully before submitting it to us. All prose should be double-spaced and include page numbers. Please also remove all identifying information from your submission and include a brief cover letter and third-person author bio in the “Cover Letter” section of Submittable.


We look forward to reading your words!
