Our Mission
Rooted in the nation’s capital’s suburbs, Potomac Review is the antidote to the scripted republic that surrounds it. By taking on D.C.’s values of international inclusion, Potomac Review looks out into the world from its lush Potomac River basin, collecting and absorbing the world’s literary diversity. Potomac Review seeks literature from emerging as well as established writers around the globe to facilitate in the literary conversation.
Our History
Founding editor Eli Flam launched Potomac Review in the D.C. area in 1993, declaring it “the quarterly with a conscience at the heart of the Mid-Atlantic.” The review relocated in the early 2000s to Montgomery College and the Paul Peck Humanities Institute, where it became the biannual print literary magazine it is today.
Over the years, the Potomac Review has received numerous recognitions. We’re excited that this fall, Richard Prins’s “Because: an Etiology” (issue 73) will appear in Best American Essays 2024 and Mark Christhilf’s “Overtures on Some Unanswered Questions” (Issue 73) will appear in Best Spiritual Literature 2024.
Additionally, Potomac Review recently has received citations in Best American Essays and Best American Short Stories. In 2023, Alan Rossi earned distinction for “My Teacher” (Issue 70) in Best American Short Stories. Notable distinctions in Best American Essays include Caleb Coy for “In Maggie’s Shadow” (2023, Issue # 71); Amanda Gaines for “Purplest” (2022, Issue # 69); John Talbird for “What Happens Next” and Orman Day for “When We Were Swashbucklers” (2021, Issue # 66); Tracey Hack for “Dormancy” and Kevin J. Kelley for “Po-tay-to/Po-tah-to” (2020, Issue # 65); Paul Haney for “It’s Our Album Now” (2020, Issue # 64); Sarah Bryan for “Thelytoky” and Krista Christensen for “Theory of Negativity” (2019, Issue # 63); and Sue Eisenfeld for “Taking It” (2018, Issue # 61).
