SNReview

SNReview is a seasonal online literary magazine founded in 1999. It has published the poetry and prose of Stephen Gyllenhaal, Adrian Louis, and Steve Poleskie, among others. In the past three years, page views have risen almost sixfold with the average issue receiving more than 20,000 page views.

It publishes prose works of less than 7000 words with traditional emphasis of good writing: strong characters, good plot and theme, imagery, style of writing, and point of view. On its guidelines page, the magazine quotes C. Michael Curtis, fiction editor of The Atlantic Monthly: “What most editors look for, in addition to a respect for conventional strengths of orderly composition, is a sentence or two sufficiently complex in structure and idea to signify a serious mind at work. Editors look for engaging sensibility, a writer with wit, imagination, and an appreciation for the benefits of a well-constructed sentence.” These same qualities are what the editor is looking for from poets and writers of creative nonfiction.
