Story Quarterly Magazine comes to Rutgers-Camden:
We are pleased to announce the acquisition of the esteemed literary magazine Story Quarterly.

Established in 1975, Story Quarterly began as an independent quarterly
with no institutional affiliation, soon became semi-annual and, by the third year and ever since, an annual. Over more than three decades, it has published the work of both established and emergent fiction writers, including Margaret Atwood, Anne Beattie, T. C.Boyle, Frederick Busch, Gail Godwin, W. P. Kinsella, Jhumpa Lahiri, Lorrie Moore, and Joyce Carol Oates, and many others. Faculty member J. T. Barbarese
will assume the position of Editor, assisted by colleagues Lauren Grodstein and Lisa Zeidner and by Marie Hayes, who served as editor for over a decade and remains with us as Senior Contributing Editor.

MFA students will have the opportunity to intern at the magazine, evaluating the work of some of the country's top writers and learning about both print and electronic publication.

Story Quarterly will continue its tradition of an annual print
publication, aided by a generous gift from Pulitzer-Prize winner Richard
Aregood, a 1965 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences here. The
magazine will also publish work online throughout the year.
