Salamander
Salamander is a literary group that releases a magazine twice a year, featuring poetry, fiction, memoirs, and translated works. Established by Jennifer Barber in 1992, its mission is to showcase emerging writers who are reaching their artistic peak and deserve a larger audience, alongside new pieces from well-known authors. Besides the magazine, Salamander organizes events and readings in Boston and New York. In the fall of 2005, it became a part of Suffolk University and continues to receive support from the institution. The magazine is published from Suffolk's English Department, located at 73 Tremont Street in Boston, and is available nationwide. Additionally, Salamander has hosted an annual fiction contest since 2010, with judging by notable short story authors and novelists.
