About Us

This on-line literary journal was inspired by the biennial Berry College Southern Women Writer’s Conference—a conference whose theme we share: “showcasing the works of well known and emerging southern women writers, expanding the literary canon, and developing critical and theoretical understandings of traditions and innovations in southern women’s writing” (www.berry.edu/academics/humanities/english/swwc2009/).

Whether you are a born and bred Southerner, a Southern transplant, or merely a frequent visitor, we welcome you to submit your poetry/prose, fiction, creative nonfiction/memoirs, and photography. Submissions should be from women who were born in or grew up in the U.S. South; currently live in the U.S. South; or write about the U.S. South. For editorial purposes, we consider the U.S. South to be a region comprised of the following areas: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Maryland, Washington DC, and West Virginia.
