About The Masters Review
Founded by Kim Winternheimer in 2011, the Masters Review is an online and print publication celebrating new and emerging writers. We are on the lookout for the best new talent with hopes of publishing stories from writers who will continue to produce great work. We offer critical essays, book reviews by debut authors, contest deadlines, submissions info, and interviews with established authors, all with the hopes of bridging the gap between new and established writers.
The Masters Review has several ways to submit. New Voices is open year-round and is available to any emerging writer. This category is always free to enter and pays up to $200 for selected stories.
Our second submissions category includes select reading periods throughout the year. Our calendar page offers info on each of these dates. From February – March, we are open to submissions for our book, an annual anthology of ten stories selected by a guest judge. It is a collection of fiction and nonfiction that represents the country’s best new writers.
