"December" was revived in 2012 by journalist and fiction writer Gianna Jacobson, and Volume 24 was released in December 2013. "December" releases two issues per year. The revival issue features new material from several of "december"'s original contributors as well as from some contemporary authors and artists. "December" also has two contests each year, the Curt Johnson Prose Awards, judged in 2015 by Joyce Carol Oates and Albert Goldbarth, and the Jeff Marks Memorial Poetry Prize. It accepts submissions and only publishes original, previously unpublished work. December (magazine)
