Snow Monkey is a little literary magazine based in Edmonds, Washington, which is just outside Seattle. SnoMo began in 1999 and is published about three times a year by its co-editors, Kathryn Rantala and Christiel Cottrell, both of whom have been involved in small press ventures for over 20 years. It is run as a not-for-profit endeavor, and they publish a variety of poems, short stories, photographs, essays, and artwork. They generally shy away from genre materials like science fiction and mystery.

The magazine is released by Ravenna Press as digest-sized, saddle-stapled hardcopy issues and as an electronic version available at http://www.ravennapress.com/snowmonkey/.

Each issue and the website are filled with lots of monkey images; I am personally most fond of their monkey samurai logo, which was drawn by Kathy Rantala's sister Linda Curtis. Curtis was a talented artist who sadly died of cancer a few years ago.
