Best Laid Plans

By Colby Cuppernull
On the good nights there was simply too much. Her legs tingled with nervous energy — the good nights were the nights of plans, dreams, and strategies, all carefully charted, coded, and mapped, and all aimed at the common goal of fixing things, setting her life, once and for all, straight.

Water Into Whiskey

By J.L. Bogenschneider
The house became vacant, in the way a place can only be with just one person; like the proverbial tree falling, emptiness requires a witness.

The Garden

By Anna Lewis
The girls you need to watch are the ones who think they’re nice: pretty, well-dressed girls who are used to compliments, who think that if they smile at you you’ll be flattered, won’t guess that they’re only trying to jump the queue.

No Big Deal

By MaryWang
I see her sitting in front of the screen, her eyes going up and down as if watching vertical ping pong. Her hair is tied up into a high ponytail on one side and her mouth, lipsticked fluorescent pink today, is half open. She looks like a bunny missing one ear.

Jane said we needed to talk about Eichmann

    Litro #148: The Going Home issue – Letter from the Editor
    By Eric Akoto

    This month in Litro #148 we explore the notion of what Going Home – means to us. Is it a familiar physical space? A refuge? A feeling? A state of mind? Or is home actually to be found in another human being – maybe your partner, your parents? How do you know when you have found it? Continue reading »

About LitroNY

Litro NY is the organic growth of Litro Magazine into the US market, and the continuation of Litro’s aim of finding and launching new international writers. While enriching the careers of existing authors, we have published debut writers for close to 10 years, including the likes of Stuart Evers, Anthony Doerr, Sabrina Mahfouz, Clare Wigfall, Richard House (ManBooker longlisted 2013), Janice Shapiro and many more. We want to engage with the American experience that will reflect the geographic cross-section of America, and continue with the Litro ethos of finding new ways of looking at the world through stories, seeking out the compelling and the controversial, the funny and the fantastic, the sad and the strange.

 

We have traditionally focused on short fiction, armed with a mission to discover new and emerging writers, giving them a platform to be read alongside stalwarts of the literary scene. Now we have also added more strings to our bow: including interviews, columns, podcasts, reviews, and features on literature, arts and culture. We've even ventured into LitroTV, so you can see and hear directly from your favourite writers. Of course, any good conversation runs, by its nature, two ways (or many ways) and we hope that you will engage with our stories and tell some of your own. As long as you have a story to tell, we want to hear it. We are now a fully-fledged online platform for non-themed fiction and literary nonfiction, as well as a place for readers, writers and the broader creative community to discuss various aspects of literature, arts and culture through features, reviews, columns and interviews.
