A Thoughtful Shift: Scribeworth Is Moving to a Biannual Publication Schedule

Good writing takes time.

Not the “I’ll-get-to-it-after-this-email” kind of time, but the kind that lets ideas stretch, deepen, surprise themselves, and come back better dressed. The kind of time that respects both the writer and the reader. With that in mind, Scribeworth Magazine is making a small but meaningful change: we’re moving from a quarterly publication schedule to a biannual one.

Why the Change?

When Scribeworth launched, a quarterly schedule made sense. It gave us momentum, rhythm, and a clear structure for growing the magazine. And it worked—beautifully. We’ve published strong fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction from writers who trusted us with their work, and readers who showed up issue after issue.

But growth has a funny way of asking better questions.

As Scribeworth continues to evolve, it’s become clear that two carefully curated issues per year allow us to do what we value most—publish excellent work with intention. More time means:

• Deeper editorial focus

• More thoughtful curation

• Greater attention to design, presentation, and reader experience

• A publication that feels less rushed and more resolved

In short: fewer issues, more care.

What This Means for Writers

This isn’t a step back. It’s a sharpening.

Scribeworth remains committed to publishing compelling, accessible, and memorable writing. Submissions will still be read carefully, responses will still be human, and published work will still be treated with the respect it deserves.

A biannual schedule simply means each issue carries more weight. More room to breathe. More space for standout voices. More time to get it right.

What This Means for Readers

You can expect the same Scribeworth you’ve come to know—just more concentrated. Each issue will feel less like a checkpoint and more like an event.

We believe readers deserve that kind of experience.

Looking Ahead

Scribeworth is here for the long haul, and this shift helps ensure the magazine stays sustainable, creative, and genuinely invested in the work it publishes. We’re proud of what we’ve built so far, and even more excited about what’s coming next.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for writing.

And thank you for trusting Scribeworth to take the time good work deserves.

The next chapter starts now—just at a slightly more deliberate pace.
