Antioch Review

The Antioch Review, a small independent literary magazine founded in 1941 in a small town in the cornfields of Ohio, is one of the oldest, continuously publishing literary magazines in America. Publishing essays, fiction, and poetry from promising and prominent authors, the Antioch Review has an international readership and reputation of publishing the “best words in the best order” for over 75 years.

Throughout our 75+ year history, the Antioch Review has published novelists, short story writers, and independent thinkers regardless of their formal reputation. The Review has played an important role in this literary history: Writers from Ralph Ellison to Silvia Plath to Leon E. Panetta have penned pages for the Review and critics like Gerald Early and P.F. Kluge have focused on important cultural questions.
