In addition to the Quarterly Concern, now nearing its 50th issue, McSweeney’s also publishes The Believer magazine, an ever-growing selection of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, art and children’s books, and Timothy McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, a website updated daily with original humor writing. Now, as dedicated as ever to championing new writing, McSweeney’s is becoming a nonprofit and building the foundation for a vibrant and lasting future in the literary arts. page 2 TIMOTHY Mc SWEENEY’S QUARTERLY CONCERN McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern began in 1998 as a literary journal that published only works rejected by other magazines. That rule was soon abandoned, and since then the Quarterly Concern has attracted work from some of the finest writers in the country. At the same time, the journal continues to be a major home for new and unpublished writers; we’re committed to publishing exciting fiction regardless of pedigree. page 3 TIMOTHY Mc SWEENEY’S QUARTERLY CONCERN Each issue of the Quarterly Concern is completely redesigned.

  • The National Book Critics Circle Campaign to Save Book Reviewing, 2007
    The National Book Critics Circle Campaign to Save Book Reviewing, 2007 The National Book Critics Circle 2007 “Campaign to Save Book Reviewing,” launched April 23, 2007 as an initiative at the NBCC March 2007 board meeting, included more than 100 original blog posts from authors, critics, librarians, booksellers, passionate readers. The posts on Critical Mass over the first five weeks of the campaign offer a snapshot of American literary culture circa spring 2007, which was evolving faster than many readers, authors and book critics could absorb. Solicited from authors, editors, journalists, book critics and others involved with books and literature, the posts offered a diverse and wide‐ranging set of viewpoints‐‐as might be expected from a group of critics and passionate writers and readers. Among them: Richard Powers, George Saunders, Rick Moody, Lee Smith, Andrei Codrescu, Roxana Robinson, AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) president Catherine Brady, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard Ford, Nadine Gordimer, Sara Paretsky, Stewart O'Nan, Nicholas Christopher, Bill Roorbach; book editors from the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Pittsburgh Post‐ Gazette, the American Book Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, the New Orleans Times Picayune, the Jewish Forward, as well as Bob Mong, editor of the Dallas Morning News, Mark Sarvas, who writes the literary blog The Elegant Variation, and Carrie Kania, who described an inclusive approach to getting the word out about books she publishes: print, radio, television, online, including MySpace pages, literary blogs, bookstore websites. (Read the blog and the comments for the flavor of the sometimes heated discourse.) The campaign also included a series of related op ed pieces, editorials, interviews, literary blog posts, reports and reactions.

Founded by three novelists in 2003, The Believer is a five-time National Magazine Award finalist and has had dozens of pieces appear in The Best American series. In 2017, The Believer was acquired by the Beverly Rogers, Carol C.
