I like the annual prize anthologies (for short fiction, that would be Best American Short Stories, the O. Henry Prize Stories and the Pushcart Prize Anthology (the last includes poetry and essays, and genre identifications are sometimes incorrect). I also get recommendations from writers that I follow on Twitter. My incubating project has my own recommendations showing up little by little at https://litjunction.com https://litjunction.com (anyone who wants an invite can email me at don.hosek@gmail.com and I'll throw one out—right now I’m focusing on making sure that as much of the lobste.rs excess as possible is pulled out of the site but I can handle a small influx of new contributors/commenters etc.)
