Welcome
Writers from, living in, or writing about Northern Appalachia — the Appalachia counties of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and the northern portion of West Virginia — have yet to be distinguished with a literary identity, as their stories have been underrepresented and undervalued in the broader culture.
With your help, this publication aims to change that.
About the Northern Appalachia Review
Introduction
Writers from, living in, or writing about northern Appalachia have yet to be distinguished with a literary identity, as their stories have been underrepresented and undervalued in the broader culture. We define this region as the Appalachia counties of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and the northern portion of West Virginia.
