Pensacola, Fla. – April 15, 2025 – Since 1989, The Emerald Coast Review (ECR),
published by Emerald Coast Writers (ECW), has proudly showcased the diverse voices of
regional writers and visual artists in a biennial anthology. This year, we celebrate the 23rd

The publication will feature a rich collection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual art,
including contemporary, emerging, and experimental pieces. We are seeking the best of
local talent, showcasing the unique perspectives and stories of those living along the
beautiful Gulf Coast. We invite submissions from residents of Escambia, Santa Rosa,
Walton, Okaloosa, and Bay Counties in Florida and Mobile, Escambia, and Baldwin Counties in Alabama.
If you live on the Emerald Coast, we encourage you to submit your work and be a part of this exciting publication, whether you’re an established writer or artist or just starting. We
