The Masters Review 2015 Anthology

The Masters Review volume IV features ten authors whose stories were selected by Kevin Brockmeier [pictured] as “The Best Stories by Emerging Writers.” The Masters Review has two submission periods per year, one for new voices published online, and the print anthology, which in the past was open to just those in graduate-level programs.

This year’s anthology opened to submissions “from emerging writers of all kinds.” Editor Kim Winternheimer writes, “As The Masters Review grows in its literary pursuits, its focus remains on celebrating and promoting new and emerging authors. Yet, by showcasing writers from a single demographic we were limiting our platform. As we mark our fourth year, we are thrilled to embrace a growing range of voices.”

Winternheimer comments that while nonfiction entries were submitted, none were selected for this final colletion, making this anthology an all-fiction issue. Authors and works included can be found here, as well as a link to the shortlist of finalists.
