    Stories about storytelling in The Story magazine

    Chris Harrigan is editor of The Story, a publication that launched in 2025 as a literary magazine with a difference. As its name suggests, it’s fascinated by stories and storytelling, and in its pages writers and artists explore the meaning of what they do. They ask why we need to tell stories, how they manifest in such different ways, and why writing can be so bloody difficult sometimes. In this conversation, Chris speaks about the ideas and ideals that motivated him and his colleagues to launch the magazine in print.

    Fifteen years of Delayed Gratification

    Rob Orchard is co-editor of Delayed Gratification, the magazine that launched 15 years ago with the bright idea of using the slowness of print as an advantage. Rather than racing to be first with the news, they dedicate each issue to a three-month period and reflect on events after the dust has settled. In this conversation he reflects on what he and the team have learned from publishing 60 issues of the magazine, including the constant battle with deadlines; the changing demands of social media; and the advantages of advertising on the Underground.
