The Writer’s Foundry Review is now open for submissions of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art. 

About us: The Review is a literary journal edited by students at The Writer’s Foundry, the MFA creative writing program at St. Joseph’s University in Brooklyn, New York. 

What we’re looking for: Our MFA program is called The Writer’s Foundry, and that’s just what it is: a foundry, not a factory. We think about our journal the same way. Send us work from your woodshed: poems and stories you’ve toiled over and tweaked until they’re entirely, uniquely you. Honesty wanted. Weird is wonderful. We can’t wait to read.

Poetry: up to five pages

Fiction: up to 4,000 words

Creative Non-fiction: up to 4,000 words

Visual Art: up to three pieces 

Submission window: February 10, 2025 through April 10, 2025

We do accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know promptly if your piece is accepted elsewhere. We do not accept previously published work.

Submission fee: $3, which helps offset production costs (please email us to request a fee waiver if needed)
