- Book 1 of 2: The Standard Magazine
A new literary magazine for writers and aspiring writers that picks up where Writer’s Digest and Poets & Writers began — a place to show our work and how we approach the pathway to truthful publication. Every issue pairs original fiction with a nonfiction craft feature exploring how fine fiction works and why it matters. This issue asks the foundational question: Why do we need better fiction?
The Standard does not accept or commission outside submissions. Every original work of fiction in this magazine is written by a student in the Story Grid Writer Mentorship Program and edited by a Story Grid editor. The stories are not illustrations of a theory — they are proofs of concept, evidence that the Story Grid methodology produces real work that meets a real standard. Each issue also includes masterwork short stories — touchstones from the literary tradition that set the bar our writers are working to meet. Full color throughout. 108 pages. Original artwork accompanies every piece.

Story Grid began with Shawn Coyne’s 2015 book The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know, which introduced a methodology for analyzing and improving narrative craft. Over the past decade, Story Grid has grown into a community of writers, editors, and artists dedicated to understanding how stories work and why they matter. The Standard Magazine is the next step — a place where that work meets the page. This is where we are now. Not as an endpoint, but as a commitment to continual improvement.
