Our August issue is live!
https://ogre.red/issues/2023-08/2023-08-introduction
With this issue, we trended back to how we started the zine: no prose, but a lot of poetry, with some visual art that ties in conceptually to the verse.

Our April issue is live!

This issue leans into our literary roots with a number of pieces incorporating sci-fi and fantasy elements, critical theory, and absurdist humor.

Since we're new on Mastodon, I thought it might be helpful to post some of our submission guidelines and editorial review standards.
These aren't hard rules, but pieces that are closer to following them tend to have better chances.

It's that time of year when we do our regular updates of our site's code.
Keep an eye out for a freshly polished version of our site in the next few weeks.

Our December issue is a wrap!
Which means the reading period for our February 2025 issue is now open:
https://redogrereview.submittable.com/submit
If you can, it's best to submit early, before things get busy with the holidays.
And a gentle reminder - each submission counts for several reading periods, until we're sure we can (or can't) work any given piece into our road map of issues.
Multiple submissions - and edits to an open submission while waiting to hear back - are always fine.
If you're interested in Shakespeare, there's a free webinar tomorrow afternoon about Chaucer's influence on his works.
