Founded in 2020, The Authors Manuscriptia emerged from a simple belief: that great literature deserves great journalism. In an era of clickbait and hot takes, we committed ourselves to thoughtful, in-depth coverage of the literary world.

Our name pays homage to the manuscripts—those precious, often handwritten documents—that have carried human stories across centuries. Just as those early scribes preserved and transmitted knowledge, we see ourselves as stewards of literary culture, connecting readers with the authors and ideas that shape our world.

Today, we reach over 500,000 readers monthly through our website and newsletter. Our team includes veteran journalists, published authors, and academics who bring diverse perspectives to our coverage of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and the business of publishing.
