Stephen King to appear in Esquire

Stephen King’s latest work, titled The Gingerbread Girl, will appear over a 23 page spread in the July issue of Esquire. According to the Associated Press, Esquire Editor David Granger said, "Over the last year, we've been trying to breathe life back into magazine fiction. The best way to do that is to publish nothing other than event fiction-stories that have something in addition to their literary merit to call attention to themselves."
Other magazines that try to participate in publishing what they call “quality” fiction (but judging by their selections, many disagree) are The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, and Harpers. But new writers very rarely make it into those pages. Magazines like those three listed, along with Esquire, will only feature big names such as Stephen King and those who are already larded with publications and prizes. Many new and up coming writers, however, believe this to be unfair since the big named writers they print don’t need the added publicity the way the new ones do. There was also a recent article in The New York Times asking if book excerpts helped sales. As for what it said, I didn’t read it long enough to find out.
