Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
We're a journal run by volunteer faculty from Georgia Southern University but independent from the University. Our focus is on publishing works about the South or from Southern-connected writers, although we will also consider works about other subjects/focus so long as they are innovative and well-crafted. We publish two issues per year, online.

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
Keep it brief and relevant.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We prefer writing about the South or by Southern writers, but if it's from outside the South, we look for unusual and unconventional styles/themes. We like to showcase our Southern writing alongside international writing.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Read a few of our issues. If we ask for revisions, please be flexible and quick in replying.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
Kerry Muir's piece was unusual and not what we thought we were looking for, but it addressed an important contemporary issue, so we worked with her. After many drafts, we were very pleased with the result, and Kerry has gone on to publishing books.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Readers who enjoy a good narrative and who are curious about the Southern USA and how it can be much different from the stereotyped view.
