About

Alaska Quarterly Review is an independent biannual literary journal founded in 1980 by Ronald Spatz and James Jacob Liszka. Its nonprofit mission is to discover, nurture, and present eclectic, innovative literary works by a diverse range of new and emerging writers, and non-commercial work of established writers, in print and digital formats, and in online and live forums. We use the power of literary art to promote empathy, truth, and learning in service of positive change. Our features empower artists and writers to develop broader questions and difficult conversations including works focusing on gender, race, ethnicity, the environment, and social justice. Works from AQR have appeared in O. Henry Awards, Best American Essays, Best American Poetry, Best American Mystery Stories, Best Creative Nonfiction, Best American Short Stories, Best American Nonrequired Reading, Beacon Best, PEN America Best Debut Short Stories, and The Pushcart Prize. Ronald Spatz serves as Editor-in-Chief.
