One Story is an American non-profit literary magazine publishing established, early-career, and emerging writers.[1] It publishes 12 issues a year, each issue containing a single three- to eight thousand-word short story. The magazine was founded in 2002[2] by writers Hannah Tinti and Maribeth Batcha.[3] It is headquartered in the Old American Can Factory, in the Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY.[4] Despite having no backing from any university,[5] One Story is one of the largest circulating literary magazines in the country, with a readership of over 15,000 as of 2021.[6][1]
The magazine is published in a five-by-seven-inch, saddle-stitched format, with a single-color cover, resembling a pamphlet.[7]
