Northern Appalachia Review v3 (Paperback or Softback)

The Northern Appalachia Review is an annual publication making a place for the under-recognized literature of its region. The editors identify northern Appalachia as the Appalachia counties of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and the northern portion of West Virginia, a part of America where authors have yet to be distinguished with a literary identity, a place that nonetheless remains rich in stories of conflict among humans and their landscapes.

The Review publishes authors from, living in, or writing about northern Appalachia. It seeks work that best conveys the character of the people and places of the region and which represents it as both distinct from and part of greater Appalachia.

The exposure offered by the Review generates support for the authors of Northern Appalachia, ensuring that the voice of this remarkable part of the country is acknowledged, appreciated, and preserved.
