Orca, a Literary Journal

Orca is a literary journal edited by Joe Ponepinto, Zachary Kellian, and Renee Jackson. It contains short stories and flash fiction. We advocate the literary style of writing. Orca is published three times a year, in March, July (the literary-speculative issue) , and November. All the work we publish comes through the submission portal. Fiction published in Orca may be nominated for anthologies such as Best American Short Stories, Best Small Fictions, the Pushcart Prize, and others. In 2020 one of our stories was honored with inclusion in Best Canadian Short Stories.
