The Dolomite Review is currently accepting submissions for its debut issue to be published this winter (2025-26).
Rooted in Michigan and steeped in the spirit of the Midwest, The Dolomite Review features writing that captures the subtle tensions of place and people — the rust belt cities, the wind-battered shorelines, the endless fields and small towns where stillness speaks volumes. It’s about the unsaid, the nearly forgotten, the moment just before everything changes.
The theme of The Dolomite Review inaugural issue is “new beginnings and firsts” — first steps, first frost, first love, first loss. The first time you left home. The first time you came back. The editors are interested in beginnings that don’t announce themselves. They want the quiet moments before or after the turning point — the kind that only feel like a “first” when you look back.
This theme is a guide, not a rule. The Dolomite Review is looking for great storytelling and voices readers will want to come back to. If that might be you, learn more about how to submit to The Dolomite Review here.
