Editorial Focus

Rialto Books Review is interested in publishing works that builds upon the literary tradition of the Western Canon. The editors prioritize formal verse when it comes to our review of poetry for publication. In fiction, they look for strong characterization, where the emotional lives, values, and problems of characters that are capable of change get artistically expressed. In essays, they prioritize the exploration of topics that are not overly focused on the present moment in time.
