Note on Literary Translation:
Submission should include original work along with translation.

The Los Angeles Press retains first North American serial rights of work published, to produce, reproduce, distribute, & market. All other remaining rights revert to the author upon publication. If the work is published again, we ask for a credit to indicate that work first appeared in The Los Angeles Press. We encourage submissions from all artists with connection to this place in the West.
