About the magazine

The Lindenwood Review is a literary journal published annually by Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. Founded in 2011, it has established itself as a discerning venue for contemporary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The journal operates with a commitment to literary craft and clarity, favoring work that demonstrates a strong sense of voice and narrative control over trend-driven experimentation. Its affiliation with a university underscores an educational mission, offering contributors and readers alike a space where traditional and emerging literary sensibilities meet with respect and rigor.

Editorial focus

The Lindenwood Review , an annual online literary journal, publishes fiction (short stories and flash fiction), creative nonfiction (personal essays, lyric essays, and flash nonfiction), and prose poems (block format). A contest for current undergraduate students is offered each year. The editors are looking for fiction with believable characters and a vivid story; creative nonfiction that is well-crafted and fiercely honest; prose poems with a distinctive atmosphere and interesting use of language; and mostly, work that moves us as readers and inspires us as writers.
