Founded at the University of Georgia in 1947 and published there ever since, The Georgia Review is one of America’s most highly regarded journals of arts and letters. Each quarterly issue offers a diverse, thoughtfully orchestrated gathering of short stories, general-interest essays, poems, reviews, and visual art. Never stuffy and never shallow, The Georgia Review seeks a broad audience of intellectually open and curious readers—and strives to give those readers rich content that invites and sustains repeated attention and consideration. Pulitzer Prize winners and never-before-published writers are equals during our manuscript evaluation process, whose goal is to identify and print works that promise to be, in the famous words of Ezra Pound, "news that stays news." Through its commitment to excellence, The Georgia Review has won numerous awards and earned an international reputation, and selections from its pages are regularly reprinted in the nation’s most prestigious prize anthologies.

The Georgia Review seeks to create a lasting environment for literature by supporting writers at every stage of their careers. Committed to the art of editorial practice, the Review collaborates with authors of essays, stories, poems, and reviews in pursuit of works of enduring appeal that engage with the evolving concerns and interests of readers from around the world. Our aim in curating content is not only to elevate literature, publishing, and the arts, but also to promote diversity and to help facilitate socially conscious partnerships in our surrounding communities.
