Founded in 1996[2] by Chris Lott and Tom Dooley,[3] Eclectica's extensive and growing archives contain poetry, fiction, non-fiction, miscellany, travel, opinion and reviews by hundreds of authors from around the world.[1] The first issue appeared in October 1996.[3] Dooley, the remaining founder/editor, published a "Best Fiction" anthology in 2003, which was recognized by the IPPY awards as a runner up in the short fiction category for that year.[4] In 2004, Eclectica took top honors in storySouth's Million Writers Award.[5]
