Laurel Review

Laurel Review Formed in 1966 at The University of Bridgeport, Laurel Review is a literary magazine run by GreenTower Press at Northwest Missouri State.

The Laurel Review is a biannual print magazine seeking submissions of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, review, and those that blur the lines between genres. We seek both established and new voices in the writing world, and we are especially interested in writing by those whose identities have been historically under-represented. Submitters living outside of the United States are encouraged to

submit. Translations in various genres are also of interest. All accepted contributors will receive two copies of the issue in which they appear. Submit and subscribe at https://thelaurelreview.submittable.com/submit

As part of the Laurel Review Interview Series, we had the privilege of talking with the amazing Lee Horikoshi Roripaugh about REVEAL CODES—a new and magnificent collection of stories, which was the winner of the Moon City Press Short Fiction Award and is available through University of Arkansas Press.
