About The Baltimore Review

The mission of The Baltimore Review is to showcase Baltimore as a literary hub of diverse writing and promote the work of emerging and established writers from the Baltimore area, from across the U.S., and beyond.

The Baltimore Review was founded by Barbara Westwood Diehl in 1996 as a literary journal publishing short stories and poems in biannual print issues. The journal grew to become a nationally distributed journal, and later became an independent nonprofit organization in 2004. Susan Muaddi Darraj led the journal from 2003 to 2010, expanding contributions to include creative nonfiction and interviews. In 2011, Barbara Westwood Diehl resumed leadership of the journal.

In 2012, The Baltimore Review began its new life as a quarterly, online literary journal. In our online format, we make that fine writing more accessible to the literary community and publish more frequently. We also explore new ways to share the world of writers and writing.

But we never fell out of love with the printed book. Work accepted for online publication is also published in annual print compilations.

To our contributors, our editors, the Baltimore literary community, and the network of writers throughout the world—thank you for your vision.
