American Book Review

American Book Review is a literary journal operating out of the University of Houston-Victoria. 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."

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. 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. Having hosted more than a hundred speakers since the American Book Review's conception, the reading series "features nationally recognized writers on extended visits to the Victoria campus." Guests read from their most recent works, participate in discussion with UHV faculty and staff, and offer signed editions of their work for purchasing.
