Work in Progress: NONFICTION Pushcart Prize Ranking

A couple of days ago I mentioned that I was working on a new Pushcart Prize Ranking of Literary Magazines, this one focused on Nonfiction. I posted the first phase of that ranking, which was to list just the winners for a five-year period, 2007-2011.

I have now moved on to phase two. This new list features the winners for a ten-year period, 2002-2011 (plus their Special Mentions from the year they won a prize). I had originally planned to go back just nine years, since next month I'll be rolling off the 2002 data when I add 2012 (I'm keeping a ten-year, rolling list).

This new list is pasted below. The next phase, as previously noted, will be to add in the data from Special Mentions for the ten-year period. This will take a week or so, but that will complete the 2011 list (just in time to work on the 2012 list in November).
