American Book Review is a literary journal operating out of the University of Houston-Victoria.[1] Their mission statement is to "specialize in reviews of frequently neglected published works of fiction, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism from small, regional, university, ethnic, avant-garde, and women's presses."[2]
Originally published as a bimonthly journal, ABR announced that beginning with its 43rd volume (Winter 2022), the journal would begin publishing as a quarterly journal.[3] In addition to publishing the American Book Review four times a year, American Book Review and the University of Houston-Victoria organize the UHV/ABR Reading Series.[4] Having hosted more than a hundred speakers[5] since the American Book Review's conception, the reading series "features nationally recognized writers on extended visits to the Victoria campus."[4] Guests read from their most recent works, participate in discussion with UHV faculty and staff, and offer signed editions of their work for purchasing.
