The Rankings are Coming, the Rankings are Coming!

Later than originally expected (but earlier than I thought after receiving a notice that the annual Pushcart Prize anthology would not arrive until mid-January), the 2023 Literary Magazine Rankings will be published here this week.

On Monday we’ll start with the overview, a page that explains the rationale behind the rankings as well as my methodology. New this year will be an FAQ section, which some readers may find helpful.

On Tuesday, I’ll post the Fiction Ranking, on Wednesday the Nonfiction Ranking, and on Thursday the Poetry Ranking will go up.

I hope the Rankings may be of some use to you.
