January Magazine is recognized for its "well-written" book reviews as well as the author interviews it has published,[2] including exchanges with Salman Rushdie, Dennis Lehane, Loren D. Estleman, Stuart M. Kaminsky, Margaret Atwood and others. January Magazine's crime-fiction section won a Gumshoe Award for Best Crime Fiction Website in 2005.[3]
In May 2006, the magazine's crime-fiction newsletter, The Rap Sheet, was spun off as a completely independent blog under the editorship of crime-fiction editor and Seattle media personality J. Kingston Pierce. The Rap Sheet and January Magazine maintain a cooperative association, with Richards and Pierce contributing to both publications.
