The rise of Literary Magazine Publishers

The rise of Literary Magazine Publishers: Literary magazine, in its original sense, is a magazine that serves literature. However, modern literary magazines also now feature graphic arts. This is an alternative channel for more rigid and serious academic academic journals. Thanks to the rise of small magazine publishing companies during the 1970s, literary magazines have found their way to the general public.

The rise of Literary Magazine Publishers

The first literary magazine began to appear in the 19th century. Many are from Britain and Russia and few in the United States. The North American Review is known as the oldest American literary magazine until it stopped publishing during World War II.

The Yale Review had its first publication four years later from The North American Review. This was originally referred to as "The Christian Spectator," and was related to theological content. Henry Walcott Farnam was the one who changed his name to "The Yale Review" and has expanded its contents. However, in 1911, when Wilbur Cross became the editor of publication, which had completely revolutionized The Yale Review. It was later converted into a leading university publication in the country. This is the oldest literary magazine and one of the most respected ones that is still run today.

The two most famous literary magazines that still exist today began in the early 20th century: the Southern Studies and Literary Supplements of the Times. The Southern Review accepts literary works such as short stories, novels in processes, poetry and critical essays that focus on Southern culture and history. Specifically serving contemporary literature and is open to experimental writing.

However, he did not want to think of literature that relied on extremism and sensationalism. The Times Literary Supplement was originally intended as a supplement for The Times but later became a completely separate publication in 1914. Literary review by T.S. Eliot and Virginia Wolf had appeared in their problems.

The latter part of the century witnessed the emergence of two influential and controversial literary magazines there: The Kenyon Review and The Partisan Review. The two publications not only have literature and criticism in their contents but also politics. Partisan review was once associated with the American Communist Party but severed its relationship after Stalin's regime. Some important names that appear on the problems are Saul Bellows, George Orwell and Susan Sontag. The last problem was in April 2003.

The emergence of a small press in the 1970s made literary magazines more productive. Due to the establishment of a Small Magazine Editor and Publisher Committee or COSMEP, small magazine publishing companies have been collected and formalized. Artists can then choose which publications are suitable for their style of work.

Also around this time is when the AGNI is formed. AGNI is a leading literary publication in providing outlets for talented and aspiring writers. The publication believes that its contents are intended to create social and cultural dialogue. Jhumpa Lahiri, Susanna Keysen and Ha Jin have appeared in magazines before becoming famous writers in academic and mainstream literature. They receive works from artists from various countries, cultures, genders and genres. This publication has been running for thirty-six years, producing at least sixty issues.

During the late 1990s, Francis Ford Coppola launched Zoetrope: All-Story. This publication dedicates itself in showing fiction and one-round drama. It publishes the works of promising writers, aspiring together with prominent ones such as David Mamet, Salman Rushdie and Yoko Ogawa. In addition, it also displays reprints of classic works and contemporary artwork.

Also during this time e-zines or online literary magazines began to emerge. This marks the changing face of the publication of a literary magazine. Some well-known e-zines are The Barcelona Review, Ecletica Magazine and Spike Magazine. Nevertheless, this is still a relatively young alternative to the publication of a literary magazine.

With the many e-zines that appear, the quality of literary content and techniques that have not been fully evaluated before can be a valid literary output.
