Here are the voices and images we most enjoyed. The range of work spans generations, genders, and cultures, from Haitian to Indo-American, from recent NOVA graduates to a Pushcart Prize winner. Together, they enrich our region’s multicultural identity. Individually, they take up residence inside us and stick there. 

CONTEST WINNERS: The Robert Bausch Fiction Prize goes to Lois Wolfe for Boardinghouse, the Poetry Prize to Howard Faerstein for Eight Minutes and Forty-Six Seconds and Winter in Florence, and the Art Prize to Jennifer Frederick for Immigration in Chains.

Stay connected with your NOVA family by sharing your COVID-19 inspired Poetry, Fiction, Creative non-fiction, Art, and Photography.  Accepted submissions will be published on TNVR’s Pandemic Sightings page. For details, see Submission Guidelines.

The Northern Virginia Review is published in a handsome print edition each spring. We intend each issue to be saved and re-read and valued for the variety of voices and images reflecting the rich cultural diversity of NOVA, the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region. TNVR is also available in digital form.

Now In its 35th year, TNVR was originally founded to showcase the talents of Northern Virginia Community College’s faculty and staff. In 2006, we expanded submissions.  We now publish outstanding work of noted and emerging regional writers and artists along side of NOVA faculty’s best work. Prizes are awarded each spring at TNVR’s celebration to launch the new issue and honor its contributors. Recent nationally known speakers have included, T. R. Hummer, David Baldacci, Sydney Blumenthal, Claudia Emerson, and Richard Bausch.
