The first editors of The Believer (Heidi Julavits, Ed Park and and Vendela Vita), saw the magazine as a platform free of cynicism, one which encouraged and fostered experimentation rather than just be dismissive of it.

They are all visually quite impressive as well. It continues to be published until this day.From Mark Sarvas? blog The Elegant Variation: ?Someone recently told Heidi Julavits that she?ll be remembered most for a Believer essay that appeared in the magazine?s March 2003 debut issue.
