I-70 Review


Writing and Art from the Middle and Beyond

Laurie Platt-Janes is from Portland, Oregon, but has been accidentally living in the Midwest for the past 30 years. Besides the written word, her passions are nature, animals, and rock 'n' roll. Her poetry and short fiction have been published in Mercury and Alchemy (literary magazines of Portland Community College), Number One (literary magazine of the University of Missouri, Kansas City), and Voices from the Writers Place (The Writers Place Audiobook 2022). Everything she has ever written or will ever write is dedicated to her husband, Bob, who passed away in 2021.



Price Increase

Because of supply chain issues and the rise of paper costs and a recent increase in postage charges, we have been forced to raise the price of a single issue to $20.00 with postage for extra copies, etc. to $5.00.

Our reading period starts on July 1, 2022 for the 2023 edition of I-70 Review and runs through the end of December 2022.


We now offer PayPal for I-70 Review purchases and donations.
