Salamander is a nationally recognized, internationally distributed biannual magazine of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and works in translation. It was founded by Jennifer Barber in 1992 and aims to publish work by writers deserving of a wider audience at any stage in their careers as well. Work from the magazine has been reprinted and anthologized in The Best American Short Stories, Best Debut Short Stories: The PEN America Dau Prize, The O. Henry Prize Stories, The Best American Mystery and Suspense, The Best American Poetry, The Pushcart Prize Anthology, New Stories from the Midwest, The Best Small Fictions, and elsewhere. Its annual fiction contest, judged by prominent short story writers and novelists, began in 2010. Salamander has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Council for Literary Magazines and Presses, Bradford College, and the Brookline Council on the Arts and Humanities.

Salamander was housed in Suffolk University from 2005-2026, and is currently on hiatus while seeking new sources of funding.
