Literary Magazines

Big Muddy has been rollin’ since 2000. Publishing an interdisciplinary selection of creative nonfiction essays, history, poetry, fiction, biography, environmental sciences, business, photography, song and art in a perfect bound, color cover format. While topics linked to the Mississippi River Valley are always encouraged, a turn relation to the area is not necessary, after all, generally of the continent leads in single way or a different to the Big River Road. The magazine furthermore includes small reviews of predominantly independent and university press books.

Our past contributors include emerging writers who deserve to be heard, as well as well known voices such as that of Colleen McElroy, Stephen Graham Jones, Virgil Suarez, Jim Elledge, Elaine Fowler Palencia, Ryan G. Van Cleave, David Radavitch and Richard Newman. Big Muddy sponsors two annual fiction contests: The Mighty River Short Story contest and the Wilda Hearne Flash Fiction contest.
