About
Mud Season Review is an international literary journal affiliated with the Burlington Writers Workshop, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing free writing workshops to writers. Our all-volunteer staff is dedicated to creating a journal that mirrors the openness of those workshops, in which writers of all genres support each other’s love of writing and reading, provide vibrant, kind, insightful feedback, forge significant creative relationships, and demonstrate that the pursuit of excellence in their craft doesn’t have to be formal, exclusive or anonymous. We aim to publish strong, skillful writing from far and wide, work that can teach something about writing: what it can do with experience, the experience it can provide a reader, and we hope always to include voices new to us and new to publication. Our editors have widely different backgrounds, but are all dedicated writers and experienced readers, both critical and generous. We consider this diversity of perspective our strength, allowing us to find and recognize in writing what speaks to anyone willing to tune in: a strong voice or vision, ranging widely and deeply, tracking inside the mud of all the climates we live in.
Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" and feedback submissions.
Important: "Feedback" submissions are not considered for publication.
