Eclectica Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eclectica is one of the oldest surviving online literary publications. Founded in 1996 by Chris Lott and Tom Dooley, Eclectica's extensive and growing archives features poetry, fiction, nonfiction, miscellany, travel, opinion, and reviews by hundreds of authors from around the world. Dooley, the remaining founder/editor, published a "Best Fiction" anthology in 2003, which was recognized by the IPPY awards as a runner up in the short fiction category for that year. Most recently, Eclectica took top honors in storySouth's Million Writer's Award for Fiction two years in a row (2003 and 2004).
Current and past editors of Eclectica include Chris Lott, Julie King, Mitchel Metz, Kevin McGowin, Paul Sampson, Michael Spice, Elizabeth Glixman, John Reinhard, Jennifer Finstrom, Pamela Gemin, and Colleen Mondor. Regular contributors include Stanley Jenkins, CE Chaffin, Thomas Hubschman, Don Mager, James Purdy, and Ann Skea.
