Narrative Magazine

In an age of declining readership, the leading online literary magazine Narrative Magazine strives to keep the literary tradition alive through an innovative combination of traditional concepts and advanced technology. Along with its website, NarrativeMagazine.com, Narrative Magazine utilizes the Internet to provide a valuable resource for a wide range of literature. Narrative Magazine possesses a varied readership, appealing both to traditionalists with a print version of the magazine and to a tech-savvy crowd with NarrativeMagazine.com. Narrative Magazine’s over 50,000 subscribers have access to a vast archive of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, cartoons, graphic stories, interviews, essays, and audio pieces.

Narrative Magazine was born out of a desire to help sustain the literary world by introducing new and talented writers alongside established talents, such as Ann Beattie, T. C. Boyle, and Joyce Carol Oates. To assist writers in their endeavors, Narrative Magazine holds numerous contests each year, offering cash prizes for the winners. Through the efforts of the team at Narrative Magazine, many writers have gone on to publish and find acclaim for exemplary works of literary art. Today, Narrative Magazine’s high-quality content is recognized globally and is taught in top universities.

Founders Carol Edgarian and Tom Jenks have been active in the literary world for many years. The author of the bestselling “Rise the Euphrates,” Carol Edgarian has also contributed to anthologies, articles, and magazines. Tom Jenks, formerly a Fiction Editor for Esquire, also held key editing roles with publications such as The Paris Review, Gentleman’s Quarterly, and Scribner’s.

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Narrative Magazine is an Internet-based version of public broadcasting dedicated solely to literary art.
