National Magazine Awards: Smallest Magazine Nominated

In the tumultuous political climate of 1941 a small group of Antioch College faculty launched the Antioch Review as a forum for their political and social concerns. After the end of World War II the Antioch Review moved beyond the social and political agenda of its founding editors,to that of a literary pursuit.

Today the Antioch Review is highly regarded as one of the oldest, continuously published literary magazines in the U.S. and boasts a long list of accomplished writers—including Sylvia Plath and Joyce Carol Oates—who have contributed fiction, essays and poetry in its pages.

With a circulation of 3,000, the Antioch Review has the distinction for the second year in a row, of being the smallest magazine named a finalist for a National Magazine Award. The Antioch Review is nominated in the fiction category for the story “The Coat” by German writer Uwe Timm, translated by Robert C. Conrad.

The Antioch Review is up against stiff competition in the fiction category. Other nominees include multiple entries from McSweeney’s Quarterly, The New Yorker and the Virginia Quarterly.

Tomorrow in our series A Closer Look: The National Magazine Awards, we’ll share our predictions for one of the program’s most sought-after prize, the General Excellence award.

Wow, only 3000? That is a small magazine. It's great for it to be competing against big shots, especially The New Yorker.

I think this is very nice that even such small magazines can participate with the really big ones.
