We are a print and on-line literary magazine with author interviews, book reviews, Exclusively Independent News, original fiction & poetry and articles.

Designed and edited by an international team we bring an entertaining mix of wit, insight and intelligence all packaged in beautifully designed pages that mix the new with the famous.

We have interviewed authors like Iain Banks, Julian Barnes, Mark Haddon, Markus Zusak, James Meek, Tom McCarthy, Paul Torday and Marina Lewycka.

The View From Here has a close working relationship with The Random House Group, Canongate, Harper Collins, Penguin Books, Bloomsbury, Alma Books, Faber & Faber, Little Brown Book Group, Legend Press, Text Publishing, Allen & Unwin, Snowbooks, Tindal Street Press, Milkweed Editions, Unbridled Books and the Arts Council funded Exclusively Independent Scheme.

A mixture of Managing Directors, Editors and Assistant Editors will be keeping an eye out to spot new talent, so if you are looking for a way to get yourself noticed and get that elusive publishing contract - and for free, we take no cut at any point - then The View From Here is the place for you.

"The View From Here provides a platform for accessible, thoughtful and interesting writing about books and writers. As a new writer myself, I shall visit the site - writing is a lonely business, and this magazine is written by and for people who understand about writing."
Paul Torday of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen & The Irresistible Inheritance of Wilberforce

We publish our fiction at The Front View where we showcase the weird, unusual, thought provoking and occasionally bizarre. We classify ourselves as "Bohemian Eclectic" -- yes, we coined the term. Our stories will make you wonder, laugh, cry and generally FEEL something. We expect to elicit a valid emotional response from our readers.

"The View From Here is one of the most exciting literary magazines to have appeared since I started out – not only does it have excellent content, a passionate following, but it seems to be right in stride with new developments and constantly looking for ways to be at the forefront of the publishing and literary world."
Tom Chalmers
Legend Press

"The View From Here is full of insightful interviews, intelligent reviews, and beautifully-designed pages. I can always find something good to read here."
Michael Kimball of Dear Everybody

"The best cutting-edge literature magazine around."
Anne Brooke of The Bones of Summer

"I don't know if there's some unwritten rule that says that literary magazines must be all blocky text and dull design, but if there is, clearly the editors and designers at The View From Here didn't get the memo. What a fresh, dynamic, sleek and edgy magazine, both in its wide-ranging content and design."
Gayle Forman of If I Stay

"Attractive, informative, sparkling and useful - TVFH is so many of the things I'm not - sigh - ..."
Iain Banks

"Consistently interesting and entertaining with some of the best up-and-coming authors around."

"An intelligent magazine with a refreshing outlook on authors and books."
Elisabetta Minervini

"The View From Here has worked with us and been a big help in launching some of our debut authors."
Andrea See
Canongate

"Some literary journals can be a bit worthy and self-regarding. The View From Here is not like that at all. It packs in a lot of interesting stuff, with some heavyweight interviews and comment pieces, not to mention original fiction. But it also pulls off the rare trick of being highly entertaining."
Roger Morris
A Vengeful Longing
