Publisher's description: In each issue of Minnetonka Review, we share with our readers the works of the best authors in the field and, with cash Editor’s Prizes, we help bring to light and reward deserving new talent.

We believe that all great literature is revolutionary. Great writers are fearless. They call upon us as readers to experience the unimagined. They place us in peril and make us yearn for resolution and redemption. They show us parts of the world we’d never seen, and they make us see with new eyes what has been right before us all along. Great writers are crafty and they are dangerous—they may find new paths to follow within convention, or else they twist, distort, and stretch all sense of the conventional. Minnetonka Review is dedicated to publishing work that is honest, human, compelling, dramatic, and original.
