The Anthology of Appalachian Writers is a publication that encourages a long-established tradition of storytelling, love of language, and creative expression associated broadly with the region of Appalachia. Though the principal mission of the anthology is to provide a venue for publication of new writers, it also provides a collection of literature , photography, and scholarship that contributes to an understanding and appreciation for the region and features many of the premier writers of the region. For consideration and inclusion in the anthology, all fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, essay, and photographic submissions should relate in some respect to the work of current Appalachian Heritage Writer in Residence. For information please see the Appalachian Heritage Writer-in-Residence website.
