Welcome!
Appalachian Heritage strives to keep readers abreast of the visual and literary arts of the Southern Appalachian Region by presenting a mix of well-established writers and artists as well as fresh new voices.
Founded in 1973, Appalachian Heritage is a program of the Berea College Appalachian Center and has been published since 1985 by Berea College.
"Appalachian Heritage is truly indispensable for readers and writers and literary folk in general who enjoy fine writing and are interested in the land and people of the Appalachian mountain region."
—Gurney Norman
“Without Appalachian Heritage, I probably never would have worked up the courage to submit my work…the publication of my story in your magazine let me know that my writing had some merit.”
—Silas House
