The Belfast Review is a new biannual literary magazine and blog (with issues in print and digital) showcasing the best in Art, Culture, Writing, Music, & More from Northern Ireland and beyond. We aim to create a dialogue between the arts by featuring short stories, poetry, nonfiction, art, photography - as well as plays, screenplays, and song lyrics.

Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, we are a cross community and cross border team committed to championing the arts as an important part of the peace and reconciliation process, both at home and around the world. We believe in the human spirit's potential for creativity, resilience, and healing. The future is what we create, here and now. The future is "us."
