A literary magazine that focuses on a particular genre of fiction. These typically publish short stories and novellas, but sometimes serialize longer works. (e.g., Dune was serialized in Analog magazine.) The blogger, Neil Clarke, runs a science fiction genre magazine called Clarkesworld. Other science fiction genre magazines include Asimov's, Analog, and F&SF. Other genres, including so-called "literary fiction," all have their own magazines. Apparently none of them are doing particularly well, because short stories are now out of fashion. The trend right now is to make everything as long as possible: Don't write a novella if you can write a novel, and don't write a novel if you can write a three-part (or seven-part!) series.
