Founded by Rhode Island poet laureate emeritus Tom Chandler and based in the Department of History, Literature, and the Arts at Bryant University, Bryant Literary Review has since 2000 served as a durable forum for original creative work. The journal publishes both established authors and emerging voices, maintaining an international scope while rooted in a campus community in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Its archive, accessible through the university's digital commons, reflects a sustained editorial commitment to poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction rather than to any single school or trend. For Volume 28, the journal continues its open call across the three genres. Submissions are limited to one fiction or creative nonfiction piece of up to approximately 5,000 words, or up to three poems per author. Previously published work is not considered. A reading fee of $5 (USD) applies. Copyright reverts to the author upon publication, a term that respects the writer's ongoing ownership of their work. The curatorial vision is one of cultivated connection: the journal's stated mission is to foster an active and growing relationship between the Bryant University campus and the global literary community. That means work is selected not merely for formal accomplishment but for its capacity to enter a conversation that extends beyond any single institution. The review does not promise prizes or publicity; it offers publication in a journal with a twenty-eight-volume history and a clear editorial lineage.
