Since 1979 Granta has published the best new writing four times a year. Each themed issue contains fiction, memoir, poetry and photography from the brightest emerging talents and finest authors on the planet.
Alongside this the online edition, New Writing, runs daily exclusives, including stories, poems, essays, interviews, animations and more from a host of Granta luminaries as well as new voices.
Our Online Archive reaches back to the very first issues, which reshaped the literary landscape, and can be accessed by a yearly subcription.

Browse through Granta’s rich history of fiction, reportage, memoir, photography, poetry and artwork. Much of the archive is restricted by a paywall, but you can buy a digital subscription here.
Our current issue is Horror, in which Paul Auster writes about the death of his mother, Will Self on his own rare blood-disease, and Mark Doty on desire, addiction and literature. We have fiction from Stephen King, Sarah Hall and Joy Williams, reportage from Peru and Sudan, and a themed costume fightclub in Los Angeles. As Arthur Conan Doyle wrote, ‘where there is no imagination there is no horror’. The issue also features cover art by The Chapman Brothers.
