Blood Orange Review pubishes writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as visual artists. Our editors want writing and artworks that change us and challenge us to redefine our sense of perspective. We look for compelling voices and work that demonstrates attention to the page. We are thrilled when we publish someone for the first time, and through our journal is modestly-sized and our selection is competitive, we encourage both emerging and established writers and artists to submit.
