A nonprofit organization, Narrative is dedicated to advancing the literary arts in the digital age by supporting the finest writing talent and encouraging readership around the world. Read stories from award-winning authors such as Sherman Alexie, Rick Bass, Ann Beattie, T. C. Boyle, Robert Olen Butler, E. L.

Our online library of new literature by both celebrated and emerging authors is available for free, at the touch of button. Carry Narrative easily with you anywhere and read anytime.

• Watch and listen authors reading their stories in the Narrative Outloud section.

• Enjoy the Story of the Week, Poem of the Week, Classics, Features, and our new ultra-short iStories and iPoems.

• Turn content categories (Fiction, Poetry, Interviews, Cartoons, etc.) on and off, so that you see only what you’re interested in.

Sign-up Required: When the application starts up for the first time, existing Narrative users are asked for their account’s email address. New users are asked for their first name, last name, and email address and are then automatically registered. Users of Narrative Magazine are sent the Story of the Week and other emails by default but can easily opt out if they do not wish to receive these emails.

Donations: Narrative pays its authors, while it also provides the magazine to readers for free. Narrative is a nonprofit organization. A substantial portion of our budget comes from individual donations. If you value Narrative, please donate by clicking here.

“Wonderful stories for my iPad”

by rb451

This app brings the wonderful stories of Narrative Magazine to the iPhone and iPad. It works especially well on my iPad because the screen is larger and the app uses the full-sized screen very well, but I'm also able to read the stories quite nicely on my iPhone.

“iPad Ready now!”
