Exciting news!
The SFWA has generously approved us for a grant to produce a 2025 series of science fiction and fantasy poetry chapbooks.
Please keep an eye out - submission details on the way soon!
I'm thrilled to say that my first microcollection, Who Needs a Door When You Have a Fence, is up for a Pushcart nomination.
My thanks to Rinky Dink Press!
They have a long-running series of microcollections, check them out:

Our December issue is live!
With our trademark mix of poetry and visual art, a new critique column, and a sequel to our first short story contest winner.
Along with a freshly updated site codebase. It's a brand new site, top to bottom, front to back!
Holiday shopping season is here!
And we have a bunch of chapbooks in this year's series:

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.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/RedOgreReview
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!
The book is a punk scene coming of age collection set in small town Colorado.
DM or email (email on our site) if you'd like to review the book for your journal / zine / blog.
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.
If you're curious about the technical side, we're using Hugo / Thulite:

Interested in Shakespeare, especially the Oxford authorship controversy?
There's a free Zoom webinar this Sunday at 4 PM Eastern / 1 PM Pacific.

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.
4 PM Eastern / 1 PM Pacific:
