<p><strong><em>Belmont Story Review</em></strong> is a national magazine of literary arts, faith and culture.</p>

<p>The magazine aims to surprise and delight readers through an eclectic mix of storytelling which includes <em>fiction, personal essay, poetry,</em> songwriting, drama, graphic narrative, and photography; as well as creative reportage, including coverage of music, film, creativity and collaboration, and the <em>intersection of faith and culture.</em></p>

<p><em>We seek to publish new and established writers</em> passionate about their craft, fearlessly encountering difficult ideas, seeking to explore human experience in all its broken blessedness.</p>

<p>Finally, in addition to bringing engaging narratives in all its forms to a wide audience, <em>we seek to exemplify the mission of Belmont University by venturing into the wider culture-shaping arena of literary arts</em>, extending and honing our skills as readers, writers, editors, artists, entrepreneurs, and citizens within a Christian community of learning and service.</p>
