Founded by Rhode Island poet laureate emeritus Tom Chandler and published since 2000, Bryant Literary Review is an international journal of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. It operates from the Department of History, Literature, and the Arts at Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island, and has built a reputation for presenting original creative work from both established authors and emerging voices. The journal's mission is to foster a sustained connection between the university campus and the global literary community, a mandate that positions it as a genuine bridge between academic and independent literary spheres. For fiction writers, the journal offers publication in a well-established venue with a clear copyright policy: rights revert to the author upon publication. The submission parameters are deliberately focused—one fiction or creative nonfiction piece of no more than approximately 5,000 words per author, alongside the option of up to three poems. Previously published work is not considered. A $5 fee accompanies each submission, a modest threshold that supports the journal's operations without imposing a significant barrier. The curatorial vision is rooted in literary craft rather than thematic constraint. Bryant Literary Review does not prescribe a school, style, or subject; instead, it seeks fiction that demonstrates originality and control, consistent with the range of voices it has published over more than two decades. The journal's archive, available through its digital commons, provides a reliable index of its editorial sensibilities. Writers should approach the submission as they would any serious literary journal: with an understanding that the work must stand on its own merits within a competitive international field.
