With contributors as diverse and illustrious as winners of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award — as well as MacArthur, Guggenheim, and NEA fellows — Ecotone’s mission is to publish and promote the best place-based work being written today.The award-winning magazine features writing and art that reimagine place, with authors interpret and reinterpreting this in radically different ways across the breadth of each issue.

The titular ecotone is — as the magazine’s editor explains — “a transition zone between two adjacent ecological communities, containing the characteristic species of each… a place of danger or opportunity, a testing ground.” With that in mind, the magazine seeks to explore “the ecotones between landscapes, literary genres, scientific and artistic disciplines, modes of thought.”
