Sonora Review Now

Hello All:

Taking stock of where we are right now, for those who are interested…

Our short short fiction contest and our essay contest are each in the process of being judged. The results will be posted on the blog a month before our summer issue comes out of its cave (which means results will be posted in July).

Though the majority of the University of Arizona MFA students have left for the summer, a small staff of Sonora Reviewers continues onward to put the next issue out.

Our last three issues have been designed by Margi Kimball. She has moved on to bigger and better things, and we wish her the best of luck. We will be working with a new artist for our next issue: Mr. Johnny Gialanella, a man very interested in book art and collage art. We are excited to see where this collaboration leads us.

Orders continue to go out. Business as usual. Check in with the blog for further updates. We are excited to give you a new book.

Best Wishes,

Sonora Review Staff
