Including 4 in this year's Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association grant series and an anthology of our first 3 years of issues.

And a gentle reminder - if you buy one of our books and donate it to a local library, we'll credit you as a sponsor on the book's page on our site.

Promoting poetry literacy and supporting libraries is one of our main nonprofit goals as a press.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We rarely plug our press merch, but if you're thinking about holiday shopping and would like to support an indie press ... we have t-shirts, a mug, and a baseball cap on Etsy.

Most items have shipping included.

Just as a side note - we're fiscally sponsored to operate as a nonprofit, so merch sales are an occasional fundraiser for us.

All proceeds will be rolled into next year's operating budget.

Our last book of the year, GULP by Dr. Devon Fulford, is all set for official release in 3 weeks!

Interested in Shakespeare, especially the Oxford authorship controversy?

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.
