The Gettysburg Review, published by Gettysburg College, is recognized as one of the country’s premier journals. Since its debut in 1988, more than eighty short stories, poems, and essays first published in our journal have been reprinted in the prize anthologies The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses, The Best American Poetry, The Best American Essays, The Best American Mystery Stories, The Best American Short Stories, New Stories from the South, and Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards, or have reappeared in such esteemed publications as Harper’s. In addition, The Gettysburg Review’s editing, elegant design, and stunning graphics have earned numerous prizes, including a Best New Journal award and four Best Journal Design awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, the most recent of which was given in 2003, and a PEN/Nora Magid Award for Excellence in Editing. Contributors include such luminaries as E. L. Doctorow, Rita Dove, Joyce Carol Oates, Richard Wilbur, and Donald Hall as well as emerging artists such as Ginger Strand, Kellie Wells, Paula Closson Buck, Paul Maliszewski, Scott Schrader, and Charles Yu. With its award-winning editing, writing, and design, The Gettysburg Review is, as one reader put it, “Pure delight, every time.”
