As many of you may be aware, The Gettysburg Review, a crown jewel among literary magazines, was recently informed that they will have to shut down after the next issue. This decision was made by the administration without any prior consultation with the editors and editorial staff. You can read more about that here.
On the magazine's website, Editor Mark Drew posted this:
After thirty-five years of editorial and publishing excellence, the
president of Gettysburg College has decided to end the Gettysburg
Review. Lauren [Hohle] and I are understandably devastated. We have been
offered a rationale for this decision, but it’s frankly one that
neither Lauren nor I understand or accept. It was made clear to us that
they know little about who we are, what we do, and what our value is,
and could be, to the Gettysburg College campus.
What can we do to save this vital publication? Write letters and emails to those who made the decision and make them aware of The Gettysburg Review's importance in the literary and publishing community. If you would like to lend your support to The Gettysburg Review, you can send your letters and emails to:
College president, Bob Iuliano
