Stack Magazines

Chris Harrigan is editor of The Story, a publication that launched in 2025 as a literary magazine with a difference. As its name suggests, it’s fascinated by stories and storytelling, and in its pages writers and artists explore the meaning of what they do. They ask why we need to tell stories, how they manifest in such different ways, and why writing can be so bloody difficult sometimes. In this conversation, Chris speaks about the ideas and ideals that motivated him and his colleagues to launch the magazine in print.
