History and publication

Appalachian Review was founded in 1973 as Appalachian Heritage by mountain poet Albert Stewart at Alice Lloyd College. The magazine moved to the Hindman Settlement School in 1982. Berea College began sponsoring the magazine in 1985. It publishes fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, craft essays, interviews, book reviews, and visual art. Material from the magazine has been widely anthologized in collections including New Stories from the South. Journal contributors include multiple Pushcart Prize nominees; recipients of the T.S. Eliot Award, the E.B White Award, and an O. Henry Prize; a National Book Award finalist; and a Pulitzer finalist.

From 2002 to 2012, each issue of the magazine focused on one author from the region, along with original work from other writers. Featured authors included Cormac McCarthy, Silas House, Crystal Wilkinson, Emma Bell Miles, Harriette Simpson Arnow, Ron Rash, Wilma Dykeman, and Karen Salyer McElmurray, among others, as well as special issues dedicated to African-American Appalachian writers and Eastern Band of the Cherokee members.[3]

Creative nonfiction writer and editor Jason Kyle Howard assumed editorship of Appalachian Review in November 2013.[4] Since then, the magazine has focused on showcasing the original work of both emerging and established writers throughout Appalachia and beyond. In an interview upon being named editor, Howard said, "I'm looking forward to preserving the legacy of the magazine's past editors, while also taking it to new places."[5]
