Narrative Magazine

Narrative, a San Francisco–based 501(c)3 non-profit, is dedicated to advancing the literary arts in the digital age by supporting the finest writing talent and encouraging readership across generations, in schools, and around the globe. As a leading digital publisher of first-rank fiction, poetry, essays, and art, each year Narrative publishes hundreds of well-known and emerging writers. The Narrative Prize, awarded annually, has helped launch the careers of authors Min Jin Lee, Maud Newton, Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Anthony Marra, Javier Zamora, and Gbenga Adesina, among others. The Narrative in the Schools program supports teachers and students around the world who are too often hampered by limited resources by providing a curated library of literature, lesson plans, video tutorials; the annual Narrative “Tell Me a Story” high school writing contest seeks to inspire a new generation of readers and writers. Narrative was founded on the conviction that there should be no socioeconomic barriers to accessing great literature. Our global audience includes teachers, students and readers of all ages, including more than 275,000 dedicated subscribers. Our ever-expanding, modern library of thousands of stories, poems, and essays is always open and always free.
