Dear Readers,
Thank you all so much for reading each issue of The Appalachian Free Press! Ever since becoming Editor in Chief back in October 2024, it has been my pleasure to bring to you stories and works by authors from all over Appalachia. As we move into our Fall issues, I want to implore our readers to submit works to the press. We do not discriminate against ideologies or perceived level of quality (which is often higher than you give yourself credit for). Our goal is to showcase the countless voices of Appalachia and to provide a space to uplift otherwise overlooked authors and ideas. Past authors featured in the Press have gone on to win prestigious awards for poetry, non-fiction, among other accolades. With that being said, I hope you enjoy the new issue of The Appalachian Free Press!
Enjoy Reading!
Luke Godsey
Editor in Chief of the Appalachian Free Press
