Welcome to Chapman!

Scotland's leading literary magazine, Chapman, has a well-deserved international reputation for quality, diversity, and its authoratitive cultural voice. It is often compared to the likes of Granta, The Poetry Review, P N Review, Agenda and easily stands comparison with similar magazines in Ireland and Wales, like The New Welsh Review as well as counterparts throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Its outstanding feature is consistency of quality, combined with originality in the range of material it publishes. Surprises are guaranteed in each issue. Most of all, and perhaps unique to Chapman, is its dynamic nature. It's not passive, and merely reflective of the current literary scene, but active and stimulating of change in both culture and in society at large.

NEW ISSUE

Ian Rankin is our cover boy in an issue walking the dark side of life, with a slice of his new novel, Naming of the Dead (world exclusive!) plus a revealing in-depth interview with Edmund O’Connor are main attractions.
