The Georgia Review
American literary magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Georgia Review is a quarterly literary magazine based in Athens, Georgia. Founded in 1947 by John Donald Wade, an English professor at University of Georgia,[1][2] the journal features poetry, fiction, essays, book reviews, translations and visual art.
The magazine was initially confined to topics relevant to Georgia, but later editors, starting with James Colvert (1968-1972), expanded the magazine's scope beyond the state.[2] The magazine rebranded once again with the Spring 1978 issue, including a new art portfolio, a full-color cover, and an extensive review section.[3]
The journal has won National Magazine Awards for Fiction (1986 and 2022),[4] for Essays (2007), and for Profile Writing (2020).[5] The journal has also received a Governor’s Award in the Humanities (2007), and GAMMA awards, given by the Magazine Association of the Southeast (seven each in 2007 and 2008).[2]
Works that appear in The Georgia Review are frequently reprinted in the Best American Short Stories and Best American Poetry and have won the Pushcart and O. Henry Prizes.[6][7]
