Community of Literary Magazines and Presses and McNally Jackson invite you to an evening with some of New York's best literary magazines. Stay for a drink, talk books, meet the editors, and flip through the magazines' most recent issues. Read more about our co-hosts below.
Epiphany is a semiannual literary journal and independent nonprofit organization that supports practicing writers at every stage of their careers, and has published generation-defining voices from Jennifer Egan, Sara Ahmed, Elena Ferrante, Robert Pinsky, Fanny Howe, Rae Armantrout, and more. For twenty years, we have featured work that goes beyond convention, highlights literary excellence, and champions emerging voices and diverse perspectives.
Founded in June 2020, The Drift aims to introduce new work and new ideas by young writers who haven’t yet been absorbed into the media hivemind and don’t feel hemmed in by the boundaries of the existing discourse. Our issues feature longform essays and cultural criticism, short fiction, poetry, interviews, dispatches, and extremely abbreviated reviews.
Lampblack is committed to the advancement of Black literature through direct aid, programs for writers and readers of Black literature, and a magazine dedicated to Black voices. The lack of resources in our communities and the erasure of our work from classrooms and bookshelves affect each and every one of us before we put words on a page.
One Story is a literary magazine that delivers one short story in the mail each month to subscribers. One Story also provides online and in-person fiction writing classes and workshops for writers at all stages of their careers.
Founded in Paris in 1953, The Paris Review is America’s preeminent literary magazine, dedicated to publishing the best prose, interviews, poetry, and visual art.
Established in 2006 by Brigid Hughes, A Public Space is an independent publisher of an award-winning literary and arts magazine and A Public Space Books. The magazine’s Writing Fellowship, a program for early-career writers who embrace risk and their own singular vision, have supported over thirty writers, including Jai Chakrabarti, Kate Doyle, Arinze Ifeakandu, Mahreen Sohail and Deborah Taffa.
