About Us

Soapberry Review is a new journal for reviews of literature by exemplary Asian American authors. We’re named after the Soapberry genus, whose fruits span across all of east, central, and south Asia. 

We’re dedicated to amplifying the voices of Asian American authors and to providing critical and thoughtful analysis of their works.
