What Is a Literary Magazine?

Most magazines contain feature stories, advertising, opinion, and maybe one or two works of fiction. The fiction is designed to appeal to the casual reader.

A literary magazine, however, contains only works of literary merit. Since the objective is to present carefully crafted literature -- fiction, poetry, and nonfiction -- rather than to make money, the editors select works based on the excellence of the writing rather than for commercial viability, confident that their readers recognize and appreciate fine writing.

Literary magazines allow writers to explore new ways of writing free from concerns about the commercial marketplace. They are also a showcase for works of professional writers who have written works that are not appropriate for traditional magazines.
