Minola Review is an online literary journal founded in 2016 with the aim of giving space for women’s writing. Today, the journal publishes the work of all those who identify as women and non-binary writers, continuing the founding mission of providing a platform for underrepresented stories, voices, and experiences. We define women as a broad and inclusive identity and reject any definitional constraints, be they transphobic, misogynist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory.

Minola Review has published writing by exciting new and established voices including Téa Mutonji, T Kira Madden, Jess Taylor, Jowita Bydlowska, Zoe Whittall, and Canisia Lubrin.

Contributors are nominated for prizes and anthologies including the Pushcart, Journey, Best of the Net, Best American Poetry, Best Microfiction, and the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers. 

Minola Review is on a short hiatus and will return with new issues in 2024. Minola Review publishes new work quarterly.
