Blood Orange Review

Blood Orange Review is an online literary journal founded in 2006 by a collective of writers and artists seeking a space for work that is both formally adventurous and emotionally resonant. From its inception, the journal has prioritized poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that demonstrate a keen attention to language, image, and the rhythms of everyday experience. Its name evokes the vivid, slightly bitter-sweet, and often overlooked—qualities the editors champion in the writing they publish. The journal operates without institutional affiliation, relying on a volunteer editorial board, and has maintained a consistent quarterly presence for over fifteen years. Its mission is to provide a welcoming yet rigorous platform for emerging and established voices alike, with a particular openness to hybrid and cross-genre work.
