Lost & Found

Lost & Found is an online literary initiative dedicated to the recovery and publication of lost, overlooked, or forgotten nonfiction. Founded on the belief that the archive is not a static repository but a living field of inquiry, the project seeks out essays, memoirs, and reportage that have fallen out of circulation—whether due to historical circumstance, editorial neglect, or the shifting tastes of the market. By recontextualizing these works alongside contemporary writing, Lost & Found positions itself as both a recovery project and a critical intervention, asking what it means to read and write nonfiction in the present. The organization operates without a physical venue, allowing it to remain nimble and responsive to submissions from a wide geographic range.
