About

Broad Ripple Review is an independent literary magazine publishing fiction, nonfiction, and poetry on a quarterly basis. Our quarterly issues appear online, with small print runs of our annual prize issue available exclusively at AWP.

We seek writing that is finely crafted and deeply felt, work that balances narrative movement with interior complexity and language shaped with intention and care. We are a selective journal, guided not by exclusivity but by care. We publish a small number of pieces so each one has space to matter, and we maintain a thoughtful editorial process to ensure that the work we champion stands with intention and artistic rigor. While we welcome submissions from all writers, we hold a particular commitment to uplifting work from marginalized communities whose voices continue to expand and strengthen contemporary literature.

Across all genres, our editorial vision is rooted in the belief that literature should invite readers into both thought and feeling. We value pieces that surprise us, challenge us, and linger. We aim to be a home for writers who take their work seriously and for readers who seek literature that endures.

In addition to our quarterly literary magazine, we also maintain Afterwords: The BRR Blog, which can be found on the main page of our website. We accept submissions of critical book reviews and interviews for Afterwords. We also publish in house staff conducted interviews with our contributors in this space.
