Everyone in our office has been trying not to hyperventilate. The finalists for the 2006 National Magazine Awards (the magazine world’s equivalent to the Pulitzers or the National Book Awards) were announced today and VQR garnered six nominations!

Also nominated in this category were Aperture, The Believer, Legal Affairs, and ReadyMade. [...] [...] Virginia Quarterly Review, my employer, has big news on the blog today: Wow!
