About

Founded in 1979, The Virginia Literary Review is the oldest undergraduate-run literary magazine at the University of Virginia.

The VLR is published twice a year in the fall and spring semesters. The review staff considers literary and visual art submissions from undergraduate and graduate students at Virginia colleges/universities during the first three-quarters of each term.

 Current and past issues can be accessed via the navigation bar above.

Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency of the University. It is a separate and independent organization which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization’s contracts, acts or omissions.
