Description
The North Carolina Literary Review (NCLR) publishes poetry, fiction, and nonfiction by North Carolina writers, as well as interviews, articles, and essays about the state’s authors, literary history, and writing culture. A cross between a scholarly journal and a literary magazine, NCLR has won numerous awards and citations, including several from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals: the Best New Journal award in 1994, the Best Journal Design award in 1999 and 2010, the Parnassus Award for Significant Editorial Achievement in 2007, the Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement in 2014, and the Best Public Intellectual Special Issue in 2023.
The NCLR is produced at East Carolina University. Started in 1991, it was inspired by the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association (NCLHA) to be a companion to the North Carolina Historical Review (NCHR), with a mission to promote and support writers who are a part of the state’s rich literary tradition. The NCLR not only introduces new and emerging writers, but also celebrates forgotten authors who have influenced the culture and history of the Old North State.
The NCLR is an official member benefit for the NCLHA. Become a member and receive a subscription to the journal and also to the North Carolina Historical Review. For rates and more information visit their membership page.
