About the journal
An independent quarterly of literature, the arts, and public affairs, The Massachusetts Review has deep local roots but a broad appeal, with subscribers spread across the U.S. and abroad. In addition to poems and stories of the highest literary quality by nationally-known and emerging writers, our pages regularly include literature in translation, personal witness pieces, lively and incisive social and historical commentary. Ours is a generalist reader who cares deeply for both literature and the wider world.
Instructions to Authors

What kinds of writing are you looking for?

We seek a balance between established writers and promising new ones. We're interested in material of variety and vitality relevant to the intellectual and aesthetic questions of our time. We aspire to have a broad appeal; our commitment, in part regional, is not provincial.

"Inspired pages are not written to fill space, but for inevitable utterance; and to such our Journal is freely and solicitously open."
¡ªRalph Waldo Emerson

Articles and Essays of breadth and depth are considered, as well as discussions of leading writers; of art, music, and drama; analyses of trends in literature, science, philosophy, and public affairs. Please include your name and contact information on the first page and we encourage page numbers.

Fiction: We consider one short story per submission, a maximum of 30 pages or 8000 words. Please include your name and contact information on the first page, we encourage page numbers.
