For more than three decades, the North Carolina Literary Review has celebrated the voices, stories, and artistry that define our state’s literary landscape. Each issue reflects the work of writers, poets, artists, and scholars who create the literary community in North Carolina. Thanks to readers and supporters like you, NCLR continues to thrive – publishing new and established writers, mentoring emerging talent, and preserving our cultural heritage.
Now, we’re turning the page to an exciting new chapter. We’re proud to reintroduce Friends of NCLR – a community of readers, writers, and champions who believe in the value of North Carolina’s literary arts. This reimagined group honors those who give annually to sustain NCLR’s mission and celebrates their shared love of the written word.
As a Friend of NCLR, your gift helps us:
- Publish and promote outstanding works by North Carolina writers and artists.
- Support emerging scholars and students through editorial and publication opportunities.
- Expand access to NCLR, ensuring our state’s stories reach readers everywhere.
