Editorial Focus

The Barely South Review’s name refers to their unique location in the U.S. while highlighting the idiosyncratic blend of voices and histories that commingle there. If not impossible, they find it unwise to assert an exact “here” or “there,” and in this spirit, the Barely South Review prefers to feature voices that defy easy regional, thematic, or stylistic categorization. They seek great writing in all its forms.
