Infrarrealista Review operates as a monthly print publication, the Caldwell/Hays Examiner, distributing 7,500 copies per run. Its editorial mandate is explicitly regional: to publish reviews of books by Texan indie presses, reviews of books written by Texan authors, and interviews highlighting books published by Texan presses or written by Texan authors. This is not a general-interest literary review; it is a sustained critical project rooted in the literary ecology of Texas. The journal pays $100 for each accepted review or interview. There is no submission fee. The deadline for this call is January 2, 2027. The editors state plainly that work without a direct connection to Texas will be rejected, and they require applicants to articulate that connection in a cover letter. This is a gatekeeping mechanism, not a formality. For writers with a genuine stake in Texas letters—whether by birth, residence, long-term study, or sustained engagement with its independent presses—Infrarrealista Review offers a rare venue: print distribution, a modest but real honorarium, and a curatorial focus that values situated knowledge over generic criticism. The journal does not seek broad thematic essays or reviews of major New York publishing houses. It seeks criticism and conversation that emerge from and speak back to Texas's independent literary infrastructure.
