A B O U T M c S W E E N E Y ' S - - - - McSweeney's began in September 2000 as a literary journal, edited by Dave Eggers, that published only works rejected from other magazines. But after the first issue, the journal began to publish pieces primarily written with McSweeney's in mind. Soon after, McSweeney's attracted works from some of the finest writers in the country, including David Foster Wallace, Ann Cummins, Rebecca Curtis, Rick Moody, Judy Budnitz, Heidi Julavits, Jonathan Lethem, William T. Vollmann, Michael Chabon, Ben Marcus, J.T. Leroy, and many new talents. Today, McSweeney's has grown to be one of the country's best and largest-circulation literary journals with an expanding, loyal subscriber base and strong independent book store following. Recent journals have appeared on bestseller lists in cities around the country and have won multiple literary and design awards, including stories selected for the Best American Poetry of 2000, Best American Travel of 2000, O. Henry Awards of 2001, and the Best American Short Stories of 2001. Design awards include AIGA 50 Books Award, AIGA/365 Illustration Award, and the 2002 Print Design Regional Award.
