After more than a decade, the team has decided to sunset Cobalt Review, as it currently exists, at the end of 2024. A formal announcement will come soon.

Submissions have closed at this time, and any works that are in the queue are still considered under consideration and will be reviewed for possible publication by the end of the year.

Though many of the details about our long-term plan are still being worked out, two things are certain:

• Cobalt will continue to publish books (Maggie Cleveland’s A Complicated Piece of Machinery with Numerous Possibilities for Injury comes out soon!)
• All published books will remain available for sale as normal
• We will archive and migrate content to another website
  • cobaltreview.com will redirect to an archive on the new site, though links for individual works, pages, and products will not work anymore).

We have absolutely loved this project that began in 2011, but we recognize that our lives have changed a lot since then. The slush piles have grown beyond our control, and it’s getting harder and harder to trust that we can catch up. We also know and respect that sending us your work, something you care deeply about, deserves more attention than we have capacity for. 

So watch this space! I’ll post more information about the transition as soon as I can. In the meantime, if you have questions, send them to us at cobalt@cobaltreview.com.

Thank you for all the love and support,
