http://www.slate.com/id/2138219/ The little Virgina Quarterly Review scored six nominations in the National Magazine Awards (only the Atlantic got more). “What makes VQR distinctive is simply that it has the immediacy of the Atlantic or The New Yorker, but its longer pieces (upwards of 10,000 words) appear alongside 20 pages of poetry. … Inside, the magazine has none of the coyness of the current crop of small magazines, like McSweeney’s, The Believer, or N+1.” 08:12
