ABOUT US

The Westchester Review was founded in 2007 as a forum for literary talent in Westchester County, New York. Since then we have expanded our catchment area to include writers and poets wherever they reside. Our primary mission continues to be to find and publish work whose language, humanity, and story-lines captivate and move us. We welcome submissions from a diverse range of writers, including voices and perspectives that have historically been underrepresented in the literary sphere. While Westchester authors are acknowledged in each issue, a connection to Westchester is not required in order to submit and will not affect submissions status.

While we started as an annual print publication, we transitioned in 2020 to quarterly issues which appear online only. Our readership has increased exponentially, and we now have international visibility.

Everything we’ve published online remains on our website and can be found in either a current or archived issue. Many of the works include audio clips of the writer reading their work.

We nominate poems, stories, and creative nonfiction each year for Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. Some of our nominees have been acknowledged as Finalists for these prizes.
