The Atherton Review A project of Academy Press (see other related projects). This project is believed to be defunct. (April 2022) About Since its inception in 2012, The Atherton Review has contributed to a vibrant literary tradition of independent publishing. We are committed to presenting a diversity of experimental and progressive work by emerging and cross-genre writers, as well as by award-winning and established authors. Being independent means our aesthetic is dynamic, ever changing to meet the needs of the culture and our historical moment.
