SHENANDOAH is a publication of The Washington And Lee University Review and is an excellent source for those readers who enjoy excellent stories and poems, as well as being a potential market for serious writers.
From the FAQ:
How would you describe the mission of Shenandoah?
Shenandoah's mission is to bring the most accomplished and stimulating writers and writing to the Washington and Lee University community and to our wider audience, to provide as James Alan McPherson once said, "Maximum exposure to stories unfolding."
We want to publish work which has its sources in acutely observed personal experience but which also aims to bear witness to something larger than the individual. Miller Williams said that a poem must begin as the writer's but end up as the reader's, or it is a failure. We concur. Regarding fiction, we are not drawn to stories whose interest in particular topics overwhelms an interest in the language. Stories are, after all, made of words, not emotions, ambitions or ideals, and the words must do the work. Former Shenandoah contributing editor James Dickey once said he wanted to say things in a such a way that they could not easily be unsaid. We'll stand by that.
