Long-awaited, and so worth it: Salamander #60 is now available in print and online at salamandermag.org. Happy reading and happy holidays to all!

Always so exciting to see work published in Salamander earn more well deserved recognition! Congratulations to Julie Marie Wade, Notable in the Best American Essays, and to Sue McMillan, Distinguished Story in Best American Mystery & Suspense.

Our upcoming Issue 60 marks the end of an era: Salamander is parting ways with Suffolk University after two decades.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we take a hiatus from reading new submissions during the 2025-2026 reading period, and stay connected with us for updates.

We're incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Danielle Legros Georges, former poet laureate of Boston and longtime friend, contributing editor, and contributor to Salamander. Revisiting some of her work, here, from 2013.

Thrilling to see this collection out in the world, and very grateful that "Patience" (by Benjamin Van Voorhis) and "Guilty Parties" (by Leanne Ma) will have an even wider readership. Thank you, @penamerica.bsky.social!
