Meet the Editor of One Story
At londonlostandfound we bring you the best of what’s
going on in London, but we also want to suggest things you might not have
heard of, or know about, or thought of doing. But we are not alone in
our mission to put a different perspective on life in a big city; there
are other alternative magazines out there. The fifth in our five part
series on alternative magazines is an interview with the Editor of One
Story. So make sure you are sitting comfortably, and prick up your
ears.
Can you briefly describe One Story magazine?
One Story is an independent literary magazine that publishes one short
story at a time.
What inspired you to start the magazine?
Maribeth Batcha, our publisher, was part of a writing group that mailed
each other stories, one at a time. She loved reading one story, alone
and she thought it would be a great idea for a magazine. She brought me
on (Hannah Tinti) to run the editorial side, and together we launched
it in April 2002.
What has been you favourite story?
That’s like choosing a favourite child! Impossible.
Where do you see the magazine in 5 years?
We hope to feature more international authors, and continue to grow our
community of readers. In five years, we should be able to pay our staff,
and have at least one anthology published. Perhaps we will run a short
story writers conference. Some place exotic, like Brooklyn.
What is your favourite thing about London?
The Thames, and all the bridges across it.
What do you hate about London?
How expensive the cab rides are.
How can readers get a copy of One Story?
They can visit our website, www.one-story.com.
