Zoetrope: All-Story
Francis Ford Coppola is recognized as one of the leading directors of our time. Similarly, Zoetrope: All-Story, the literary magazine which he founded in 1997, has become acclaimed as one of the leading stars in the literary scene. The magazine is driven by the belief that short fiction offers benefits for both writers and readers: challenging authors to distill their work into a short-fiction format and offering readers a chance to test the waters with an unfamiliar voice. Besides then-unknown writers like David Benioff, Daniyal Mueenuddin, and Miranda July, the magazine has also published fiction by well-known authors like Don DeLillo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Cynthia Ozick.The magazine is published quarterly, with each issue available online for 8.00. Alternatively, you can purchase a yearly subscription for 24, effectively getting one free issue. A two year subscription is 40, while a three-year subscription is available for 55. Aspiring writers should also check out the workshops run by the magazine. An annual workshop in Coppola’s Blancaneux Lodge in Belize offers 25 students the ability to learn from professional writers while enjoying a refined and luxurious environment. Workshops are also available online. Limited to 18 students per class, a ten-week course costs 395 and a 25 registration fee.
