BiblioCraft: A Modern Crafter's Guide to Using Library Resources to Jumpstart Creative Projects | Jessica Pigza

I know that a lot of you lovely people read literary magazines. I really want to try some and I‘d really like to hear your favourites?!
Or any quirky cool magazines that you guys are into please?

SharonGoforth I love Lapham‘s Quarterly, World Literature Today, Tin House, Paris Review, Antioch Review, Kenyon Review, and Poetry Magazine. There are so many!! Barnes & Noble always has a good selection. 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth thankyou! Unfortunately Barnes and noble isn‘t really a thing where I am in the uk but I will see if I can find any of them here easily. This is exactly the sort of suggestions I want 6y

SharonGoforth @Weaponxgirl Oh, I‘m sorry! I know you can get subscriptions, plus they also have online subscriptions, too. My favorite is Lapham‘s Quarterly. Each month has a theme, and they use essays, poetry, fragments from literature from ancient to modern to build on that theme. The artwork and layout is absolutely stunning. When I saw it, I had to subscribe! I know there are many more magazines that cover different genres. Good luck! 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth don‘t apologise! We have a newsagents chain here called WHSmith and they often have a good selection of magazines in, including international ones so I‘m excited to go in with some idea of what I‘m actually looking for! There‘s so many now that having a idea of what others love will be a bit kinder on my budget š‰ 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth we had a borders here briefly and I do miss having a bookshop with a huge magazine section inside it. 6y

mreads I second Tin House and I also like Two Lines Press and Ploughshares. I got them as subscriptions but I am in the US so not sure about UK availability. 6y

SharonGoforth @Weaponxgirl I miss Borders, too! 6y

Weaponxgirl @mreads thanks, honestly the more titles the better. If I can‘t get them easily I‘ll just have to live vicariously through Litsy users 6y

Weaponxgirl @SharonGoforth we now in the uk only really have @Waterstones as the only purely dedicated to books chains. But unfortunately they aren‘t paying staff a living wage. 6y

SharonGoforth @Weaponxgirl That‘s truly unfortunate š” 6y

SharonGoforth @mreads I just checked out Two Line Press online, and it looks great! Thanks for the suggestion! 6y

Emilymdxn The Times Literary Supplement just released a really awesome issue celebrating shared European literary heritage and connection which I‘m in love with reading atm 6y

Graywacke I have phases where I check these out. Itā€s been a while, but in last one I really enjoyed Granta, The Paris Review and Poetry. These are all American publications, not sure how available in the UK - although Poetry is almost entirely available for free online - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine And they have a free podcast, recommended. 6y

SW-T I look at Poets, and Poets & Writers occasionally but not sure if they‘re international. 6y

Weaponxgirl @Emilymdxn I forgot about them! I stopped reading the times as they were part of the murdoch empire but I can probably find it for free somewhere. I‘ll try my library thanks! 6y

Weaponxgirl @Graywacke thankyou! I know at least a couple of those are international š 6y

Weaponxgirl @SW-T I‘ll have a look! š 6y
