The Ulu Review is an new online publication, based off of the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

Our goal is to celebrate the way in which storytelling can help to preserve the cultural values of humanity and tradition. 

​

We’re excited to publish short stories, poems, plays, and personal essays -- especially ones that have a special kind of magic to them.
 

​Whether it be a mythological flair, or the type of everyday magic found in coincidences and happenstance, we are eager to be a home for tales that give insight into the wonderful and miraculous.


 

We are accepting new work on a rolling basis. That means submissions are always welcome, and the review intends to publish monthly.
 

We are excited to announce that our first monthly edition, featuring selected pieces from our first round of submissions, ​was published online in August 2023!


 

In the future, we will be hosting writing contests, with selected pieces each month receiving a monetary prize. As we become a more established presence, we hope to pay for every piece published.

​

We’re excited to begin this journey with you -- authors and readers alike!​
