Editorial Focus
true publishes essays and writing on the craft of nonfiction in its many forms, as well as reviews, interviews, and criticism. The editors are especially interested in the intersection of reporting and narrative; how nonfiction is and isn’t different from other genres; how true stories can be made compelling; and explorations of highly reflective, emotional, and layered work that exposes a truth about shared experiences in an exulting and punishing world.
