About Me


Up the Staircase is a QUARTERLY publication that leans more toward the taste of confessional poetry. Most of all, we are looking for quality.
We specialize in the promotion of new poets, as well as recognized authors. We showcase passionate, thoughtful, and serious writers who express a unique vision and voice.
We do literary reviews!
Here is some feedback from a few of the past writers we have reviewed:
"Wow! What a wonderful review. It's not just that you enjoyed the novel but that you were able to convey in words its very meaning."
Author, VMK Fewings
"Thanks very much for the wonderful review of "Blue Ribbons. . .," which I just read this morning. I'm so pleased with it..."
Poet, Ellaraine Lockie
"Thank you for the outstanding review! The best review of the book yet."
Writer, C. Allen Rearick
"I am absolutely overwhelmed and over the moon with your review of my book, it is more than i expected and could ever have hoped for, I truly appreciate that you have taken so much time and care in understanding my poetry..."
 Poet, Anthony Pritchard
