About The Baltimore Review

The mission of The Baltimore Review is to showcase Baltimore as a literary hub of diverse writing and promote the work of emerging and established writers. The Baltimore Review was founded by Barbara Westwood Diehl in 1996 as a literary journal publishing short stories and poems, with a mission to showcase the best writing from the Baltimore area, from across the U.S., and beyond. Our mission remains just that. However, in our online format, we can now bring that fine writing to the world's attention, more frequently, and at less cost. We can also explore new ways to bring the world of writers and writing to the reader's attention. For example, the website includes a filmed interview with Elizabeth Spires, and writers may now include audio recordings of their work.

The Baltimore Review begins its new life as a quarterly, online literary journal in 2012. This doesn't mean that we've fallen out of love with the printed book. Work accepted for online publication is also published in annual print issues.

The Baltimore Review works to promote its contributors and nominates stories, poems, and creative nonfiction for awards. Recent awards are Best of the Net for a short story and creative nonfiction piece.
