The Headlight Review features new creative writing that demonstrates the persistent value of imaginative literature.
We seek submissions that push the boundaries of form, language, plot, character, and prosody, especially from new and emerging writers of diverse backgrounds.
About
E. L. Doctorow famously described writing as akin to “driving at night in the fog. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” Founded in 2017 by Dr. LoVerde-Dropp, The Headlight Review illuminates the unfolding landscape of literary culture.
Featuring new creative writing that demonstrates the persistent value of imaginative literature, THR publishes poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that pushes the boundaries of form, language, plot, character, and prosody, especially from new and emerging writers of diverse backgrounds.
Produced by graduate students and faculty advisors in Kennesaw State University’s Master of Arts in Professional Writing Program, THR releases two digital issues per year, administers an annual chapbook contest, and awards the annual Anthony Grooms Short Fiction Prize. With an open reading period and no submission fees for regular issues, we welcome writers lighting the way.
