Recent Media Coverage of Manhattan Group Publishers

We don't mind letting you know when, from time to time, someone puts in a good word for us and our efforts.
Below are the most recent mentions of our publications, projects, and talented staff.

• We received word that MLR staff artist Brian Skinner was listed in the Who's Who in America^®
  2006 Edition. Click here to see his listing or go to the Marquis Who's Who® Home Page for information on
  ordering this useful reference, now in its 60th edition.

• The 2002 Edition of Novel & Short Story Writer's Market, Writer's Digest Books, lists Chicago Quarterly Review among its section on literary journals. In addition to mentioning recent CQR contributors Richard Kostelanetz, Elizabeth McKenzie, Chris Fountain, and poet Barbara Cranford, they attribute to our editors the following remark:

  "We look for work that does not require a secret decoder ring to figure out. The writer’s voice ought to be clear and unique, and should explain something of what it means to be human. Best of all is that rare piece that makes us forget we are reading fiction. Good writing is a result of inspiration, passion, skill, and assiduous, even ruthless editing. Publication should be an afterthought to this process, a way to share one’s work, not merely to garner recognition."

          We can stand by that. To learn more about our newest journal or to request our submission guidelines,
  go to our Manhattan Literary Review page. To view our previous Novel & Short Story Writer's Market listing, click here.
  
  

• We are pleased to announce that Chicago Quarterly Review, our former publication, was once again featured in The Best American Short Stories 2001, Barbara Kingsolver, editor, as a good place for both new and established writers to send their work. Click here for more info.
  
  
• Lastly, an article about staff artist Brian Skinner appeared in the September 5, 2001 edition of the Friendship Reporter and included his mug shot. For the complete article and photo, click here.
