Antietam Review

Founded in 1982, Antietam Review has exceeded the average lifespan of U.S. literary magazines, which is eight years. Antietam Review continues to evolve as a unique, beautiful, national publication. Indeed, this annual journal of the literary and photographic arts has delighted readers for more than two decades. Short stories, poems, and photographs grace its pages and engross a growing audience, and entertaining as it edifies.

A number of Antietam Review’s contributors have gone on to publish story collections with notable presses, among them Putnam, Houghton-Mifflin, and St. Martin’s. Poets appearing in AR have gone on to publish poetry collections with prestigious small presses, and AR photographers have exhibited work in nationally recognized shows.

The editors are very proud that publication in the magazine gives much needed hope to young, beginning writers and photographers, inspiring them to continue their work with confidence. AR itself has had its share of awards. It was recognized by National Public Radio, winning its prestigious EXCELLENCE IN PRINT award for magazines for the year 2000. In 1992 AR was voted one of the best litmags in the U.S. by the Hemingway Days Festival in Florida.

Antietam Review is a beautiful magazine, a work of art in itself. Going into its 24th publication year its reputation will be widened and enhanced which will generate an increase, regionally and nationally, in the number and quality of submissions. AR’s editors, readers and supporters are the driving force for the magazine becoming a strong, distinguished, well established presence in America’s literary landscape.

Antietam Review, a project of the Washington County Arts Council in Hagerstown, Maryland, is supported in part with a grant by the Maryland State Arts Council.
