Fiction is a semiannual publication established in 1972 with a circulation of 4,000. It typically runs 150-250 pages, with illustrations or occasionally photos. The guiding principle of Fiction has always been to go to terra incognita in the writing of the imagination, and to ask that modern fiction set itself serious questions, interrogating the nature of the real and the fantastic. It represents no particular school of fiction, except the innovative. Fiction has traditionally attempted to make accessible the inaccessible, to bring the experimental to a broader audience. As a result of its willingness to publish the difficult, experimental and unusual, Fiction has a unique reputation in the U.S. We pride ourselves on publishing established writers along with new, emerging voices. Stories first published in Fiction have been selected for the Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses, O. Henry Prize Stories, and Best American Short Stories. In the past we have featured work by such prize-winning authors as John Ashbery, Joyce Carol Oates, Heinrich Böll, Yasunari Kawabata, Camilo José Cela, Günter Grass, and John Barth to name a few, and have solicited work from such places as Haiti, China, Germany, Italy, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Israel, Japan, Mexico and Iran.
