A Public Space is an independent magazine of literature and culture founded in 2006 by Brigid Hughes, former executive editor of The Paris Review. The publication has established itself as a discerning venue for both emerging and established voices, with a commitment to publishing work that is formally ambitious and emotionally resonant. Its pages have featured writers such as Marilynne Robinson, Colm Tóibín, and Yiyun Li, alongside translations, portfolios, and cross-disciplinary projects that resist easy categorization. The magazine operates without a fixed thematic mandate, instead curating each issue around a spirit of inquiry and aesthetic rigor. It welcomes poetry, fiction, essays, and translations, as well as visual and sonic work—photography, music, digital art, and hybrid forms—that expands the possibilities of the printed and digital page. Contributors are offered a platform that values careful editing, thoughtful design, and a global readership. While the submission guidelines do not specify a deadline, fee, or prize, the magazine maintains an open call for unsolicited work. This is not a contest but a standing invitation to submit. The editorial team reads year-round, and while response times may vary, each submission is considered with the same attention the magazine affords its commissioned pieces. There is no cost to submit, and no monetary award is associated with publication; the reward is publication itself, in a magazine that has become a touchstone for contemporary literary and artistic practice.
