The Masters Review

Since its inception, The Masters Review has been honored by the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Best Short Story Collection[1] by the American Library Association and Foreword Reviews, a fellowship from Oregon Literary Arts[2] for the work it does for new writers, and has stories recognized in The Best of the Net, The Best Small Fictions, and The Million Writers Award,[3] among others.

[4] Working with authors Lauren Groff, A. M. Homes, Lev Grossman, Kevin Brockmeier, Amy Hempel, and Roxane Gay, The Masters Review produces a printed volume of ten stories annually, which showcases and promotes emerging writers.

[5] The Masters Review accepts submissions and essays from writers around the world as long as stories are written and submitted in English.

Aside from national distribution and high visibility in the printed work, the anthology is also part of an exclusive mailing to agents, with the aim of connecting new writers with representation.

In this way, the publication aligns their new writers with established talent while offering free access to quality fiction and narrative nonfiction to its readership.
