Free State Review was founded in 2012 by Hal Burdett, J. Wesley Clark, and Barrett Warner.[3] Initially, submissions were generated by word of mouth until its website launched in 2013. The first issue, which came out in 2013, featured a painting by Pulitzer prize winning poet Mark Strand.[4] The journal's motto is "Totally Limited Omniscience".[5][6]
