York Literary Review 2018

"We are delighted to welcome you to the third annual edition of York Literary Review. This edition marks the beginning of a collaboration with Valley Press, a trailblazing publisher based close by in Scarborough. It is also the first year that the magazine is housed within York Centre for Writing, a hub for brilliant and innovative new writing led by the Creative Writing team at York St John University.



Once again, the editorial process has been driven by a group of talented postgraduate students, who read through the huge number of submissions we received this year and argued passionately for the inclusion of the pieces here. This year we had a high number of very compelling pieces of creative non-fiction, and we're pleased to include more of these than in previous years. The selected contributors come from close to home (we are glad to publish the work of two former students and a York-based geographer) and much further afield - from Canada, the US and across the United Kingdom. We hope that you enjoy their varied and accomplished work."
