Blue Earth Review is the literary magazine of Minnesota State University, Mankato. Before being wholly revamped and renamed in 2003, BER was published under such titles as Medicine Jug, The Muse, and Minnesota River Review.

The magazine seeks sparkling examples of contemporary poetry, prose, photography, and artwork. BER acquires first North American serial rights for any published work. After the original publication, rights revert back to the author. For more information on how to send us your work, click here.

BER is staffed by eleven student editors, both graduate and undergraduate, at Minnesota State University, Mankato. We are—first and foremost—writers, which means we have a love for the music of words and the heart of a story. We take as much joy in the successes of our contributors and literature in general as we do in those of our magazine. That’s why we do our best to select only the highest quality work from a broad aesthetic, creating a new, enriching experience with each new issue of Blue Earth Review.
