At Length is a venue for ambitious, in-depth writing, music, photography, and art that are open to possibilities shorter forms preclude. As a print-friendly online magazine, we create ways for readers, listeners, and viewers to interact with noteworthy long work, and other publications have noticed. Among those who have recommended our writing and interviews are Harpers.org, NPR online, The Awl, VillageVoice.com, and Longform.org, which called “The Decisive Ones” one of the year’s 20 best essays. Best American Poetry 2011 features our selection of poems from Major Jackson’s Holding Company, and Best Music Writing 2011 includes Nate Chinen’s “Direction Nowhere.”
We usually publish a couple times a month. To make sure you know when we’ve updated the site, please sign up for our RSS feed, follow us on Twitter, or become a fan on Facebook. We also send out an occasional email update to keep in touch and make note of recent content. Sign up for our emails here.
