- New Stories From the South
"New Stories From the South" is an annual compilation of short stories published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill and billed as the year's best stories written by southern writers or about the Southern United States. The stories are collected from more than 100 literary magazines, including "The Atlantic Monthly", "Harper's Magazine", "The New Yorker", "The Oxford American", "The Paris Review", "Ploughshares", and "The Southern Review". Shannon Ravenel, then the editor of the annual "Best American Short Stories" anthology, launched the "New Stories From the South" series in 1986 and compiled and edited every volume until 2006. To mark the third decade of the series, Algonquin invited author and John Simon Guggenheim Fellow Allan Gurganus to be guest editor. [http://www.algonquin.com/products/9781565125315/]
