This is A Public Space

A Public Space is a new independent magazine of literature and culture, founded by Brigid Hughes, the former Executive Editor of The Paris Review. In an era that has relegated literature to the margins, we plan to make fiction and poetry the stars of a new conversation. We believe that stories are how we make sense of our lives and how we learn about other lives. We believe that stories matter.

Four times a year, we bring readers a collection of new authors and established talents. We encourage writers to get away from their desks and investigate what intrigues them, explore, snoop around. There are no boundaries, and we will support writers wherever they take us.
