New Letters

"We seek many kinds of writing: Regardless of subject, style, or genre, our overriding concern is literary excellence. NON-FICTION*: We publish personal essays and are open, as well, to critical discourses about writing, art, or culture, as long as that writing is, in itself, lively, fresh, and vivid. We are not interested in footnoted, “scholarly” articles, or anything that uses the word “privilege” as a verb."
