Constellations is a print literary journal based in the Cambridge/Boston area, featuring poetry and short fiction. We seek writing that is fresh and resonant, and look forward to reading work from our local literary community as well as elsewhere.

UPDATE September 11th, 2024: Submissions for our 14th issue (SECOND LOOK) are now closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted their work. We are still making final decisions on what pieces to include; once the final selection is complete, we will begin work on creating the actual issue. As usual, we expect to publish in late fall. Submissions will reopen for v. 15 in mid-March of 2025.

Meanwhile, Constellations vol. 13 (DECEPTION) is still available, featuring a mammoth 187 pages of poetry, fiction, and photography from 75 contributors. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

The issue is available from Amazon.com in the U.S., Amazon.ca in Canada, Amazon.co.uk in Great Britain, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.es, and Amazon.it in Europe, and Amazon.co.jp in Asia. As Amazon print-on-demand services continue to expand, it may also become available from other country-localized Amazon sites. (As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.)
