About

The Red Branch Review is a literary and visual art annual based in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Review seeks to bring to readers the kaleidoscope of human experience and was founded in response to the increasing liminality of the Appalachian experience. The editors are gathering artistic and literary voices that express that tension and evoke a sense of place into conversation with one another. The Review recognizes and celebrates the heterogeneity of Appalachia. The editors welcome contributors and readers to bring their individual voices and perspectives to the Review, and we encourage potential contributors to familiarize themselves with the journal before submitting.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to anyone who has a connection to Appalachia.
