The Adirondack Review is an online magazine that publishes literature, art, and photography quarterly. It offers competitions, internship programs, and publishes both established and emerging writers. Readers can view completed and upcoming issues.
The Adirondack Review is a quarterly online magazine celebrating literature and the arts. Issues are published online in the summer, fall, winter, and spring, and while the exact publication dates for each issue vary, they generally fall on or near the season’s solstice or equinox. The magazine was founded by Colleen Ryor in the spring of 2000 and the first issue appeared that summer. Since then, she has sought out and published quality fiction, poetry, artwork, and photography, as well as articles, interviews, book reviews, and film reviews.
One of the most unique features of The Adirondack Review is the way each issue is compiled. When readers access the site, they can choose to view the “Current Issue” or the “Evolving Issue”. This allows readers to peruse a completed issue and the next issue as it develops. Also, because it is an online magazine, fiction, poetry, and other writings from past issues are always available to readers.
The Adirondack Review holds a series of annual competitions. The Fulton Prize, for example, offers prize money and magazine publication to one winner and up to four runners-up each year. There are also poetry and photography contests. Since The Adirondack Review is published by Black Lawrence Press, it is not uncommon for contributors to the magazine (as well as contest entrants) to also get the publisher’s attention. In fact, some authors had poems or short stories published in the magazine eventually published book works published by Black Lawrence Press.
While The Adirondack Review has published many well-known authors who have previous publishing credits with prestigious magazines and journals such as The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and Plowshares to name but a few, the magazine is also open to publishing new and emerging writers. In fact, in the Spring 2007 issue, it featured a poem written by a third grader.
The magazine offers virtual internship programs to students of literature, writing, French, German and history. The internship program allows students to learn how a literary magazine works without having to leave campus. While The Adirondack Review has welcomed interns from urban schools, this program can be especially helpful for students at rural colleges and universities.
