The Cutleaf Reader

The Cutleaf Reader is an annual print anthology of the work published online in Cutleaf. We know that some readers prefer a screen and some prefer paper, so every year we publish a print anthology of the work previously published online for our paper-loving readers. We hope these two versions can bring the widest possible audience to the work written by the talented contributors of Cutleaf.

Perfect for college and graduate classrooms and readers who prefer print editions, these volumes exemplify the best work of contemporary writers, giving readers a chance to sample a broad variety of approaches to fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in current literature.
