About

Far Off Places is a young magazine featuring creative writing and illustration which launched in spring 2013. Despite being based in Edinburgh, we spread our loving tentacles across Europe and indeed over the Atlantic. Our mission in life is to make you laugh, ponder, and wince. We seek stories and poems to twine into a rope thrown from a lifeboat or to build into a yellow brick road. We aim to create a stage for emerging writers to strut their stuff, both traditional and experimental. We hope to reach, enchant and grip readers who wouldn’t ordinarily pick up a literary magazine - which is why Far Off Places is appearing as an audio, a digital and an iOS Newsstand version. We believe in bedtime stories and beautiful craftsmanship, where choice of font and paper type is an artistic decision.
