Memoir (and)

“This is the age of memoir,” proclaimed William Zinsser in Inventing the Truth, The Art and Craft of Memoir. If he’s right, memoir will come of age in our century. As a form, it will outgrow the constraints bound upon it for so long, as the novel did in the twentieth century.






Memoir (and) is a nonprofit literary journal born with these ideas in mind. Our mission is to publish traditional as well as nontraditional forms of nonfiction allied with memoir. This includes, but is not limited to, autobiography, diary, personal and critical essay, memoir, reportage, autobiographical fiction, alternative histories, journalistic accounts, “flash memoir,” narrative poetry or “poemoir” (it’s okay to groan, we did) and graphic memoir.



We strive with each issue to include a selection of:

* prose,

* poetry,

* graphic memoirs,

* narrative photography


…and more.
