Red Dirt Review is on hiatus indefinitely, as my other work has taken too much of my time recently. If you have submitted work previously, please feel free to submit it other places. If I come back to this project, I will relaunch and request new submissions later.

Thanks,

John

Welcome to the Red Dirt Review. We’re a new literary journal based in Charlotte, NC and focusing on the best in Southern (yeah, I know, redneck) poetry, fiction and non-fiction. Our (my) grand plan is to have a great contest (go to the contest page for details) that pays for itself and covers the cost of printing a semi-annual literary magazine in hard copy. I’m also planning on publishing a monthly edition here online, in bloggy format until I figure out a better way. So check out our About Us page for submission info, and send me your poems and stories about life in the South.
