Looking for a Few Good Readers

We’re getting a little to big for our britches around here and are having a hard time keeping up with all the submissions coming in. So we’re looking to beef up our reading team. If you’re interested in possibly joining the Burnside Review team please e-mail sid@burnsidereview.org a little note about who and what you like to read and we’ll get back to you with all the details.

The Oregon Issue

This year we were lucky enough to receive a publishing fellowship from Oregon’s Literary Arts. With part of the loot, we’re going to create a special edition, all Oregon issue. This will not interfere with our regular printing schedule. Unlike our regular issues, we will not be accepting unsolicited submissions for this one. We hope to have the issue out by mid-late summer.
