Focused on literary fiction and nonfiction, Literary Hub publishes personal and critical essays, interviews, and book excerpts from over 100 partners,[2] including independent presses (New Directions Publishing, Graywolf Press), large publishers (Simon & Schuster, Alfred A. Knopf), bookstores (Book People, Politics and Prose), non-profits (PEN America), and literary magazines (The Paris Review, n+1). The mission of Literary Hub is to be the "site readers can rely on for smart, engaged, entertaining writing about all things books."[2] The website has been featured in The Washington Post,[3] The Guardian,[4] and Poets & Writers.[5]
In 2019, Literary Hub launched their new blog, The Hub, alongside LitHub Radio, a "network of bookish podcasts featuring some established favorites of the genre along with a new show or two".[6] They also maintain a website for crime, mystery and thriller literature called CrimeReads.[7]
On October 22nd, 2019, Lit Hub announced a partnership with The Podglomerate, launching Storybound, a new podcast created and hosted by Jude Brewer, exploring "everything from family life to friendship, relationships to histories, and how everything in life can be impacted by the power of a good story."[8]
