One Story

One Story is an American non-profit literary magazine publishing established, early-career, and emerging writers. It publishes 12 issues a year, each issue containing a single three- to eight thousand-word short story. The magazine was founded in 2002 by writers Hannah Tinti and Maribeth Batcha. It is headquartered in the Old American Can Factory, in the Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. Despite having no backing from any university, One Story is one of the largest circulating literary magazines in the country, with a readership of over 15,000 as of 2021.

History
One Story was founded with an initial investment of $3,000 from Maribeth Batcha. For the inaugural issue, Batcha and Tinti asked mutual friend John Hodgman to submit a story. Hodgman agreed, and in April 2002, his "wry, genre-bending story," “Villanova or: How I Became a Former Professional Literary Agent,” was published under a gray cover as One Story’s first issue. The first issue had a print run of 600 and cost about $1,000. == Awards ==

Stories originally published in the magazine have been awarded the O. Henry and Pushcart Prizes and have been reprinted in Best American Short Stories and Best American Non-Required Reading. ==References==
