VIDA released their findings that breakdown the male to female ratio of contributors at some of the biggest American literary magazines. Their findings show that The Paris Review and New York Times Book Review have both shown improvements in making sure there is more balance among their contributor bases, while publications like the New York Review of Books continued to go heavy in the red (the red =s male writers) in 2013. McSweeney’s also put up pretty staggering numbers, with 43 male writers in 2013, and 13 female writers, while Tin House showed some of the best overall numbers in terms of female contribution to their journal. 
Even though some of those numbers are disparaging, it is noted that, “The Paris Review’s numbers, previously among the worst in our VIDA Count, have metamorphosed from deep, male-dominated lopsidedness into a picture more closely resembling gender parity.”
Hopefully some of the other publications on the list will follow suit in 2014.
