Henry Awards, Pushcart Prize, Beacon Best, Best American Short Stories, Best American Mystery Stories, Best Creative Nonfiction, Best American Fantasy, Best American Essays, Best American Nonrequired Reading, and Best American Poetry.
John McNally in Literary Magazine Review observed, "When all is said and done, Ronald Spatz and his crack team of editors put together one hell of a magazine." Laura Furman, the series editor of the Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards, wrote “Alaska Quarterly Review is playing an impressive part in our national literature.” Michael Dirda wrote in The New York Review of Books that Alaska Quarterly Review "remains one of our best, and most imaginative, literary magazines."
AQR contributing editors include Jane Hirshfield, Stuart Dybek, Amy Hempel, Patrica Hampl, Stuart Dischell, Nancy Eimers, Pattiann Rogers, Sean Hill, Dorianne Laux, Peggy Schumaker, Benjamin Spatz, Elizabeth Bradfield, Michael Ryan, Olena Kalytiak Davis, and Billy Collins. AQR is published twice a year by the University of Alaska Anchorage in partnership with the Center for Narrative and Lyric Arts.
