Dunes Review is an online literary magazine[1][2][3][4] based in northern Michigan. It is sponsored by both Michigan Writers[2][5][6] of Grand Traverse County, Michigan and the Glen Arbor Art Association of Leelanau County, Michigan.[7] The Beach Bards of Glen Arbor also contribute financially for the poetry prizes.[8]

History

[edit]

The Dunes Review Writing Project was launched in 1996 by local poet, playwright, and writing teacher, Anne-Marie Oomen. A key early focus of the magazine was on promoting regional writing and to raise consciousness about Northern Michigan writers. It also utilized art by local artists for its cover.[8] It was originally sponsored by Glen Arbor Arts Association and the Traverse City Arts Council with the financial support of a mini-grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs.[8] Their first issue was published in the spring of 1997.[9]

In 2002, there was a transition in management. The Glen Arbor Art Association began to share financial, advisory, and publication responsibilities with Michigan Writers (Traverse City).[10] Today, the magazine focuses on the best local as well as regional and national writers.[11][12]
