It’s September, so the Kenyon Review is open for submissions! Send us your poems, stories, essays, and plays by September 30. There is no submission fee, and all work will be read.


Note: We are no longer publishing KROnline, our online magazine that had its own aesthetic vision. Instead, the Kenyon Review is now one magazine, published in both print and digital editions.

KR Welcomes Jackson Saul as Managing Editor


The Kenyon Review is pleased to welcome Jackson Saul as our new managing editor. Saul grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, and graduated from Williams College, so he is no stranger to small liberal arts colleges and already seems quite at home on the Kenyon campus.


Saul brings extensive publishing experience to KR: he served as managing editor and then editor of Black Warrior Review, and later worked for the University of Alabama Press. Before he moved to Tuscaloosa to get his MFA in fiction writing at the University of Alabama, he spent four years in Brooklyn working for Restless Books, a nonprofit publisher of global literature. 


Saul’s writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Iowa Review, Gettysburg Review, The Literary Review, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Joyland, Hotel, and Northern Woodlands magazine.


“I have long admired the Kenyon Review,” said Saul, “and look forward to supporting the staff and contributors in this role of managing editor.”
