Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Salamander, Inc., is a literary organization that publishes a biannual magazine of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and works in translation.

In addition to the magazine, Salamander, Inc. sponsors events and readings in the Boston area and in New York. Salamander became affiliated with Suffolk University in the fall of 2005. Its annual fiction contest began in 2010. Salamander has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Council for Literary Magazines and Presses, Bradford College, and the Brookline Council on the Arts and Humanities.
