ZYZZYVA is a critically acclaimed print journal, introducing readers to new work from the best contemporary writers and artists since 1985. Based in San Francisco, we have established a vigorous tradition of finding and fostering new talent, in our backyard and beyond. For over thirty years ZYZZYVA has nurtured emerging writers, many of whom go on to spectacular careers (Haruki Murakami, Po Bronson, F.X. Toole, Kay Ryan, Sherman Alexie) and whose work in ZYZZYVA is recognized by the Pushcart Prize, the Best American series, the O. Henry Prize Stories, and other awards organizations. Recent contributors include Krys Lee, Rivka Galchen, Ruth Madievsky, Tom Barbash, Lori Ostlund, Kaveh Akbar, Peter Orner, Jane Hirshfield, Octavio Solis, Glen David Gold, William Brewer, Amy Tan, and Matthew Dickman.
