The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette profiles the outreach of literary journals.
Traditionally, a literary journal comes out in an academic setting twice or three times a year -- some in book form, others as magazines -- and may include poetry, book reviews, short stories and narrative nonfiction. Because most do not carry ads or make money from subscriptions (with circulations generally under 5,000), they bleed red ink. Editors spend much of their labor drumming up financial support from arts councils and foundations. The majority of start-ups do not last beyond a few years, Casper said. Venerable models include the Paris Review, Graywolf Press, Plowshares and the Kenyon Review. (Link via ArtsJournal.)
