Hesitancy is the vibe here, as we try to offer some kind of insight into what we’re doing and hoping to achieve. People shoot manifestoes looks on sight. Editorials are often puked on at will. A thankless task. What is one to do?
Thank you to all issue 1 contributors for taking this step with us. We have selected stories that challenge and captivate. From office work to seashores to fast food outlets to sex work to an apocalyptic Thatcherite Scotland, we have investigated work to its fullest. We have meaningful essays that challenge how Trans writers are treated to issues of White saviourism in South America.
No Parties magazine intends to publish the world’s leading writers. We have achieved this in issue 1 and we will continue to do so.
We are very proud of this issue.
