Our fellow 2022 winners include American Chordata, Bennington Review, ZYZZYVA, and Apogee Journal. The judges praised the \u201cpolish, verve, and style of the writing\u201d in the print categories, and the \u201caccessibility and loyal literary community\u201d (i.e. all of you!) fostered by the winners of the digital categories (that\u2019s us!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judges went on to call Electric Literature \u201ca sanctuary, a community, a map charting literature\u2019s course.\u201d This is exactly what we strive to be\u2014inclusive and forward thinking, a place where our writers and readers feel at home. In our thirteenth year of publication, eighth with Halimah Marcus as executive director, and our first under the editorial leadership of Denne Michele Norris, we are deeply moved to have our work recognized in this way. Quite simply, we feel seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright\"><blockquote><p>Electric Literature can be whatever its reader needs most: a sanctuary, a community, a map charting literature\u2019s course.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Literary magazines are the lifeblood of our industry; we\u2019re often the first to nurture and publish tomorrow\u2019s literary phenoms. Doing so allows us to shape the future of books, art, and culture, and that\u2019s a responsibility we take seriously. Literature comprises so much more than book sales\u2014it\u2019s many stories told in many formats, and it must include a plurality of voices. Electric Literature\u2019s mission is to make literature more exciting, relevant, and inclusive. With the support of the Whiting Foundation, we can remain steadfast in that effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are deeply grateful to the Whiting Foundation for the recognition of Electric Literature\u2019s work, and also for their commitment to a vital literary ecosystem outside of corporate publishing. And as always, we are most thankful to you\u2014our beloved EL community\u2014without whom none of this would matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are thrilled to announce that Electric Literature has won the prestigious Whiting Literary Magazine Prize!
