Saw Palm Florida Literature & Art

See other projects related to this listing.

About

Saw Palm's mission is to go beyond the tourist brochures and capture the unique experience of Florida lives, landscapes, and tropes through the work of artists and writers in-state and out. Established as a web journal in 2006 by John Henry Fleming and the graduate students of the Creative Writing Program at the University of South Florida, Saw Palm began publishing a print edition and taking subscriptions in 2008. We offer a mix of stories, essays, poems, book reviews, and visual art that speaks to the diversity and uniqueness of Florida. Our contributors include national and international award-winners, as well as emerging artists and writers, many of whom are published for the first time here.

Important: Review and interview submissions open year-round.
