Editorial Focus

The Iowa Review selects most of their content from the several thousand unsolicited manuscripts that arrive each year from throughout the country and abroad. They take their mission to be nudging along American literature, to be local but not provincial, to be experimental but not without love for literary traditions. Discovering a new and compelling writer, one they’d never heard of before but whose writing comes through—that still seems the magic of their work.
