Dell Magazines is a magazine company known for its many puzzle magazines, astrology magazines, as well as four fiction magazines: Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Asimov's Science Fiction, and Analog Science Fiction and Fact.
It was founded by George T. Delacorte Jr. in 1921 as part of his Dell Publishing Co. Dell was sold in March 1996 to Crosstown Publications, with headquarters in Norwalk, Connecticut. The parent company is now known as Penny Publications, LLC, which also publishes Penny Press puzzle magazines.
The first puzzle magazine Dell published was Dell Crossword Puzzles, in 1931, and since then it has printed magazines containing word searches, math and logic puzzles, and other diversions.
Dell Magazines acquired Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Asimov's Science Fiction, and Analog Science Fiction and Fact. in 1992 from Davis Publications.
Dell Magazines is also the sponsor of the Astounding Award for Best Writer, given out by the World Science Fiction Society alongside the Hugo Awards. The award was previously known as the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer from its founding in 1973 until 2019, after that year's winner, Jeannette Ng, criticized John W. Campbell during her award acceptance speech.[1][2][3]
