The first issue of the new LITERARY SAVANNAH MAGAZINE appeared on December 5, 2010, with following editions on a bi-monthly basis thereafter. Literary Savannah will publish the fiction, non-fiction, poetry and art of both established writers and emerging talents who are native to or reside in the Savannah-tidewater area. Magazine content will be broadly balanced to appeal to the widest possible readership. Standards for acceptance will be professionally exacting. We take a broad view of the word “literary.” For us it means all writing of professional quality, from the most esoteric to the most popular. A fitting subtitle for Literary Savannah might be “The Literary Magazine That People Actually Read.”

Contents

• Fiction, both short stories and excerpts from longer works in progress or recently published work. Professional quality but not necessarily ”literary” in the narrow sense of the word.
• Serials. One is lined up for the first few issues.
• Poetry.
• Non-fiction: Features, articles with a local history (nostalgia) slant, humor, profiles,
interviews, service pieces (how to do this or that) slanted to our targeted readership, reviews of recent books
• Departments: Letters to the editor, column on gossip and happenings in literary world (need someone for this), column on rare books and book collecting.

Writer’s Guidelines
Fiction: Short stories from 1000 to 2500 words. Some tie-in to the region is good but certainly not necessary. Submit without query.
Non-fiction: 1000 to 2000 words. Prefer anecdotal, personal style. First person OK. Query first.
Humor: 1000 words max. Submit without query.
Profiles: Call to suggest subjects for profiles and interviews.
Reviews: Books published (we like self-publishers) in the last six months.
