Weekend Reads by Joshua Brown May 1, 2023 48 Weekend Reads is an online literary magazine featuring short stories, poetry and creative nonfiction. Founded in 2014 by writer-editor duo Anjali Kapoor and Pratik Choudhary, the magazine seeks to promote new writing from around the world. Each month, Weekend Reads publishes a selection of original works that explore topics such as travel, identity and relationships. The publication has been widely praised for its unique approach to creating content; each story or poem published on Weekend Reads includes commentary alongside it written by one of their editors or guest authors. This allows readers to gain insight into alternate interpretations of the piece they’re reading while also sparking conversation about its themes with other readers through comments at the end of each article. Additionally, Weekend Reads features interviews with notable writers like Amitav Ghosh and Jhumpa Lahiri who discuss their experiences as authors in addition to offering advice for aspiring writers looking to break into the field themselves. The magazine’s reach extends beyond just those interested in literature; due to its diverse range of topics covered (from food culture to politics), there are many contributors whose work speaks more broadly than what traditional publishing houses may offer – making it an invaluable resource not only for budding writers but also anyone seeking relevant perspectives on current affairs or thought-provoking avenues for self-expression within our ever changing global society today
