about us

A letter from Marc fitten, Editor


The Chattahoochee Review
is a nationally recognized literary magazine sponsored by Georgia Perimeter College. Our purpose, a tradition begun twenty-seven years ago, is to publish original writing of literary merit. Each quarter, we publish the best in creative writing, essays, fiction, literary criticisms; everything you’ve come to expect from Atlanta's oldest literary magazine.

The Chattahoochee Review is also a cultural organization whose purpose is to build and maintain a literary community in Georgia and the Southeast. However, having grown beyond its past role as more of a Southern literary magazine, The Chattahoochee Review has established a wider, more diverse audience.

This updated website and the Summer 2006 issue mark the official beginning of a new era for The Chattahoochee Review literary magazine. For nearly a generation our little magazine has helped introduce many of today’s top literary writers to readers across the country. For nearly a generation this literary journal has positively impacted the literary landscape or our city, state, and region. In fact, in 2003, The Chattahoochee Review literary magazine was recognized for its history and contributions to the state, and was awarded a Medal in the Humanities by Georgia’s Governor. By accepting literary submissions from both established and emerging authors and poets worldwide, The Chattahoochee Review has been steadily broadening its reach. Sending subscriptions nationwide and attracting new readership through our online literary supplements, The Chattahoochee Review continues to enjoy national success as a respected literary magazine.

We hope that you will bookmark this website and visit us often. As the year progresses more and more original content will be uploaded, including interviews, podcasts, and excerpts from the print issue. We also hope you will subscribe, or send a gift subscription to a friend or relative.

And let us know what you think about our changes and our magazine – good or bad. Your comments may be included in a new “Letters to the Editor” section.

Remember: submit, subscribe, read!

All best,

Marc Fitten
