Salamander will be taking a hiatus from new submissions during the 2025-2026 reading period. Suffolk University, our parent institution for the past 20 years, has decided to end its relationship with Salamander due to increasing budget cuts. We’ll be printing our upcoming issue, #60, this fall at Suffolk University, and then will begin to seek out new avenues of support and collaboration.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and all best luck to you in writing and submitting your work.
