Beginning now, The South Shore Review is accepted works from Canadians and Canadians living away with a focus on Atlantic Canada. We will also be publishing region-specific stories about artists and authors along with reviews of local work. If you have recently submitted and you do not fall into these groups, don’t worry, you may still be accepted as a final look at writers beyond our borders.
Thank you so much!
