About The Petigru Review

Welcome to The Petigru Review! We read submissions once per year starting in the spring.

We are an online-only journal, showcasing submissions from South Carolina and the world annually, usually in the fall.

The Petigru Review (TPR) is named for James Petigru, an atypical South Carolinian who publicly opposed secession in 1860 and fought for the rights of Black people.

As such, we are not your typical literary magazine. Our goal is to showcase good writing from South Carolina and the world, opening our doors and welcoming all to submit. We offer submission waivers, a very modest honoraria to all authors and artists, and we nominate for awards and share the work published on social media as part of our mission to be inclusive, relevant, and diverse.

We receive support and funding from the South Carolina Writers Association and various arts organizations, for which we are deeply grateful. SCWA membership is open to writers from around the world and offers events and critique groups for all. You can read about our connection here.
