Letters Page [1]
The Letters Page literary journal is published by the University of Nottingham School of English, and edited by writer in residence, Professor Jon McGregor. It is interested in exploring what letter writing means to people—and has meant since writing was invented—in their literary cultures and their personal lives. It publishes essays, memoirs, fiction, travelogue, reportage, poetry, criticism, interview, any creative form of writing, so long as it comes to them framed as a letter.
