About

The G.W. Review is The George Washington University's national/international literary review. We publish fiction, poetry and artwork from artists across the nation and, sometimes, the world. We also give GW students the change to be published in our annual Senior Contest.

The Review was founded in 1980 by a group of undergraduate students with the help of G.W. professor David McAleavey. From its beginnings as a small local publication, the Review has blossomed into a nationally distributed annual publication. Noteable artists featured in our pages in the past twenty-five years include Gloria Naylor, Amiri Baraka, William Stafford, Jean Valentine, E. Ethelbert Miller and Maxine Clair.

The G.W. Review editorial board accepts submissions throughout the year, although the official reading period runs from September to April. Please see our Subscriptions page for information on how to obtain sample issues.
