Cleveland Review of Books

The Cleveland Review of Books, founded in 2018, was launched in order to fill a perceived critical gap in the city and Midwest-at-large. Our goal is to be the highest quality literary review in the Midwest. While not exclusively Midwest-focused, we strive to publish writers of and from the Midwest alongside writers from around the country and world. Our contention is that through publishing, events, and conversations, we can foster a community of critical thought and aesthetic appreciation locally while harboring a discussion that is worth the attention of a national and global readership.
