Windsor Review 43.2, 44.1, 44.2 Update

Hello Windsor Review readers,

Allow me to update you on all the latest Windsor Review news since our last post (which was, admittedly, quite some time ago. Sorry about the gap in time, but we’ve been busy!) Here’s what’s new from our office:

Windsor Review issue 43.2 is out on newsstands now! Featuring the art of Victor Romão, and writing from 19 other contributors, this issue is a great one to get your hands on.

We are also currently laying out issue 44.1 (Spring 2011) and 44.2 (Fall 2011) and they are looking great.  44.2 will be our sports-themed issue.  Thank you for all your submissions to this exciting themed issue! (please note that submissions for the sports issue are now closed and that all contributors should have already received a reply).

Remember, we always accept submissions for our general issue during our two four-month reading periods (September – December, January – April), so please keep the submissions of poetry, prose, and art coming.  For more details, check out our guidelines page.

More details to come soon about our next theme issue and a brand new contest!

It’s been a while.

Hello, gentle readers of the Windsor Review. It’s been a while since we’ve spoken to you on this blog, but we have been hard at work in the office. Since we last met, we’ve published a special graphic issue, a special prophecy issue, and we’ve prepared a fabulous general issue for the fall, featuring the drawings of Victor Ramao. You can read all about it in recent and upcoming editions.

Next on our plate is another theme issue — the sports issue, and we’re asking you for submissions. Grit, dedication, persistence, and ambition — we want to read and see the face of Canadian sport on the page. Up to the challenge? See our call for submissions.

Stay strong in the struggle, literary friends.
