River Styx, is a quarterly, non-profit, online literary and arts magazine based in St. Louis. River Styx, now in its 49th year, is a nonprofit, multicultural literary and arts magazine. River Styx cultivates the literary arts in St. Louis and beyond through its magazine and community programs. River Styx embodies the best of non-profit independent literature. As an independent magazine, we earn just enough to keep publishing not trendy or politically connected work but what we love most—thoughtful yet accessible, unpredictable yet moving literature and art. We will always adhere to a lean and mean production ethic and keep the youthful energy that's made us, as Small Press Review says, “a beacon of light on which deserving voices dance.” River Styx is committed to publishing work from new writers as well as established and award-winning writers, including multiple Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and US Poets Laureate.
