The Baltimore Review

The Baltimore Review was founded by Barbara Westwood Diehl in 1996 as a print literary journal publishing short stories and poems, with a mission to showcase the best writing from the Baltimore area, from across the U.S., and beyond.

The journal grew to become a nationally distributed journal, and later became an independent nonprofit organization in 2004. Works of creative nonfiction were added to the journal's offerings.

In 2012, The Baltimore Review began its new life as a quarterly, online literary journal. This doesn't mean that we've fallen out of love with the printed book. Work accepted for online publication is also included in annual print compilations.
