Last year’s judge, Lauren Groff, sat down with Matthew Daddona from The Brooklyn Rail and had a lovely chat about The Masters Review, Lauren’s writing, the empathy behind fiction, in addition to discussing some of their favorite stories in the collection. If you have five minutes, sit back and take a look. Lauren is officially the loveliest person on earth. As Zana — one of our authors last year — put it when I shared this article with her, “Holy Monday, Batman!”
Double agree.
Subscribers receive quality lists of upcoming deadlines for lit mags and contests, free fiction, and exclusive content regarding writing, craft, and interviews from established authors.
At The Masters Review, our mission is to support emerging writers. We only accept submissions from writers who can benefit from a larger platform. Typically, writers without published novels or story collections or with low circulation. We publish fiction and nonfiction online year round and put out an annual anthology of the ten best emerging writers in the country, judged by an expert in the field. We publish articles and book reviews on the blog and hold workshops that connect emerging and established writers.
I think though much of the discussion during the ToB itself is of the discussion of the books, if that makes sense.
Also, all of these books have more than enough fat to chew on.
