lit-mag-stub StoryQuarterly was founded in 1975 by Pamela Painter and several Illinois writers, birthed as a quarterly and soon becoming an annual. It was subsequently edited, for about ten years apiece, by Anne Brashler, Diane Williams, and finally M. M. M. Hayes, under whose guidance awards included, as well as those listed above: New Stories from the South, Best American Mysteries, Best American Essays, Looking Backward-an anthology about fathers and daughters, and others. StoryQuarterly is now owned by Rutgers University, which is bringing out an inaugural hard-copy edition in spring 2009, now publishing three quarters onlline and one in the traditional format in which the book has become known so successfully over the past ten years. Thus the book will become quarterly again, a full circle.
