The Mississippi Review (Online)
Mississippireview.com
is among the oldest and most popular literary magazines on the Web. It
was established in early 1995 as a site for the publication of literary
writing. Drawing on Mississippi Review (MR) archives, and on fresh
material from well known writers as well as emerging talent, the online
version of MR shares some of its content with the print magazine. As of
2008, the magazine has more than fifteen hundred stories and poems
online, work by such writers as Thom Jones, Ben Marcus, Francine Prose,
Padgett Powell, Barry Hannah, Tom Drury, Elizabeth Gilbert, Rick Bass, Ben Neihart, and from newer writers like Brian Oberkirch, Michael Dermansky, Courtney Eldridge, David Ryan, Laurie O'Brien, Jaime Clarke, Stacey Richter, Susan Hubbard, Larry French.
It is a magazine that was recently referenced in Writer’s Digest as the
fifth most important and influential on-line publication.

NoveList (Online)
NoveList, an imprint of EBSCO Publishing, offers a complete suite of
book-finding tools for librarians and readers. NoveList (both the
original database and the current enterprise) grew out of public
librarian Duncan Smith's need for a resource to help him better serve
fiction readers. Since the introduction of the first NoveList database
in 1994, Duncan and the NoveList team of library and technology
professionals have continued to create readers' advisory products and
content that strengthen the connection between books, readers, and
libraries.
