about the Palisades Review

Founded in the summer of 2022, The Palisades Review is an online literary website that celebrates short form nonfiction. We feature compressed stories that reverberate and deepen our collective sense of self, stories that are charged within by the extraordinary capacity of language to create community from individuals. We believe that literature is vital to sustaining a vibrant culture and are dedicated to offering quality writing that enriches the lives of our readers. Tell us anything, so long as it’s true, in 1,000 words or less.

The Palisades Review is a literary website dedicated to sharing the lived experience of writers of all backgrounds. We encourage and actively solicit submissions from diverse voices, bodies, and identities. We believe that it is our responsibility as allies to publish and uplift writers and artists of all races, religions, statuses, ethnicities, cultures, sexualities, identities, and genders. To accomplish this, we solicit submissions from both established and emerging writers through diverse methods, thereby seeking the broadest array of experiences to offer our community. We aim to inspire writers and readers to discover how short form nonfiction can resonate today.

Formerly a quarterly online magazine, TPR is now an online review publishing single features at our leisure. OF THE MOMENT is an online feature of our website, in which we publish writing about a timely matter. Be that matter the war in Ukraine, Multiple Sclerosis awareness week, or anything else you can think of as fitting, send us your writing. We want to read it. To submit your work, visit our Submittable.
