About Joyland
Selected by the CBC as part of the Top 100 of 2008, Joyland has been called “the go-to spot for readers seeking the best voices in short fiction.”
In an article on the state of literary magazines, Quill and Quire proclaimed, “A savvy, sleek publication, devoted entirely to new short fiction. Joyland boasts editors in several major North American cities, and has published marquee names such as Jonathan Lethem and Lydia Millet … The future of literary magazines is already here.”
Meanwhile, Montreal’s Hour writes, “Joyland is an innovative, online publication devoted to new fiction,” and Time Out Chicago has called Joyland “a lovely literary site that has a preoccupation with location… We certainly like the idea of towns self-identifying by virtue of their hometown authors. And so far, the work speaks for itself.”
Joyland is dedicated to finding a new way to publish short fiction. We’ve chosen several editors to select and post stories by authors in a given locale. We think this is both simple and full of possibilities for authors and fans of short stories to discover work they normally wouldn’t.
Joyland was created by Emily Schultz and Brian Joseph Davis, and developed by Bill Kennedy of Stop 14 Media.
