Founded in Los Angeles in Fall 2014, Angel City Review is a literary journal that is committed to bringing the cutting edge in fiction and poetry to a modern audience. We aim to present a diverse range of both writers and genres that run the gamut from experimental narratives to grittier fiction with a literary air. We are neither afraid of, nor do we stick to, any particular style of writing. If you present us with a work that shocks or wows us we will gladly share it with the world. Every issue will feature a couple of more established writers; however our main goal is to provide an outlet for new and emerging authors with an emphasis on writers based in Los Angeles. The majority of the pages will be filled with work by authors who may be new to you and quite possibly are appearing in print for the first time.

Each issue will also feature one visual artist from various mediums whose work we will disperse throughout the issue.

The current format of the journal is a  yearly Ebook (in PDF, Kindle, and Epub formats). We feel that new literature should be accessible to everyone (not just the people who can afford to shell out $20), so each issue will be presented free of charge.

This project is a labor of love driven by our passion for the written word.
