The Good Life Review was co-founded in the Spring of 2020 by Shyla Shehan and Ed Vogel, both of whom envisioned creating an online literary journal that would be edited and operated by fellow graduates and candidates of the MFA in Writing program at the University of Nebraska. This initial group of writers, editors, and designers came together to craft a space intended to shine a light on the diversity that exists in the Heartland and beyond. We believe in connecting readers and writers; our hope is that this platform can be a space where writers want to showcase their work and where readers will return again and again.
