The Wild River Review is the creation of a team of professional writers and artists who form the eclectic
coterie known as the Wild River Gang. We are skilled editors in all genres: short and long fiction, poetry, nonfiction,
feature writing, and graphic stories.
Crafting a top-flight literary magazine is as fun as it is challenging, and the Wild River Gang is
committed to scouting for the best writing, encouraging submissions,
and exploring unique and, at times, controversial issues.

So... get to know us. Share in the fun. And enjoy the ride.
