About the Journal
New Ohio Review is a national literary journal produced by Ohio University’s Creative Writing Program. Now in its fifteenth year, NOR has been the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant and support from the Ohio Arts Council. Work from its pages consistently appears in the Best American series and the annual Pushcart anthology.
Since June 2018, newohioreview.org has been the place for exclusive, original online projects, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, audio, and video.
Our print issues appear in the fall and spring.
