Wolfson Review
Wolfson Review seeks to unveil the creative significance and indelible value of the small press. Concentrating on publications from independent and university presses, we invite submissions of novels, novellas, short story and flash fiction collections, poetry (book-length and chapbook), young adult, and children’s literature. Wolfson Review is accessible to all readers, as we cover a diverse range of genres and themes. Our team strives to provide a community that is inclusive, engaging, and respectful while introducing readers to the exciting work being produced by small presses. We are interested in the literary voices of all generations.
