Making The Cut

Over at Eight Diagrams, Wayne Yang wonders which of the big literary magazines regularly make it in The Best American Short Stories or in The O. Henry Prize Stories. With BASS, he finds the usual suspects (New Yorker, Atlantic, Harper’s, etc.) but also a very strong showing for Ploughshares. For O. Henry, Wayne finds that the same glossies appear at the top, but Zoetrope: All Story seems to be doing quite well. (Note that the sample sizes differ.)
