The CHILLFILTR Review publishes poetry, memoirs, short stories, and personal essays on a rolling basis. Our scope is wide, but in general we are looking for work that explores the nexus between humanity, spirituality, and life experience. We do not deny the validity of the basic categories of physics, biology, psychology, and the other sciences: we claim only that human beings cannot be fully understood in terms of them. Thus, art.

Every year we make submissions for end of year competitions The Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. Every piece is eligible, and we do our best to put up worthy candidates. The 2020 CHILLFILTR Pushcart Prize nominations are:

An Outrageous Proposal. - a short story by Tim Tomlinson

Coffee by the Window. - a Poem by Ava Lansley

Wanted. - a Poem by Gale Acuff

Forever (6 Letters). - An Essay by Sofia Bening

Our mission statement is here.

To our selected authors: you agree to give us exclusive electronic rights to your work for 3 months, which will then revert to non-exclusive online archival rights. We also ask that if you republish online, you give us credit for first publication.
