Description
About Granta
Granta magazine and Granta's book imprint, Granta Books, are published in both London and New York under the title Granta Publications.
Granta magazine
Granta magazine publishes new writing—fiction, personal history, reportage and inquiring journalism—four times a year. It also publishes documentary photography. Every issue contains at least 256 pages in paperback book format; special issues, such as those on India, London and (most recently) Australia, can be up to 100 pages more.
Granta was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as The Granta, a periodical of student politics, student badinage and student literary enterprise, named after the river that runs through the town. In this original incarnation it had a long and distinguished history, publishing the early work of many writers who later became well known, including A. A. Milne, Michael Frayn, Stevie Smith, Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. During the 1970s, it ran into trouble—dwindling money, mounting apathy—from which it was rescued by a small group of postgraduates who successfully and surprisingly relaunched it as a magazine of new writing, with both writers and their audience drawn from the world beyond Cambridge.
