The Narrative Magazine Collection includes fiction, nonfiction, and poetry by W.H. Auden, Donald Hall, Jim Harrison, Gail Godwin, Ted Kooser, and important new up-and-coming authors. It's an ideal holiday gift for friends and family who love reading, and who want to discover the hottest literary magazine today.

NarrativeMagazine.com is edited by Tom Jenks, who also edited Ernest Hemingway's posthumously published, bestselling novel, The Garden of Eden, and co-edited with Raymond Carver the bestselling anthology American Short Story Masterpieces. With his NarrativeMagazine.com coeditor, the bestselling author Carol Edgarian, Tom Jenks has brought together two of the best literary collections of 2007.

"It's great news for writers and readers alike that NarrativeMagazine.com promotes fiction and nonfiction of far higher quality than many of the national publications available on newsstands.
