Founded in 2011 to resist the conglomeration of book publishing and the ever-narrowing avenues for literary and cultural criticism, Full Stop publishes criticism with an emphasis on debuts, works in translation, and books published by small presses. Our writers and editors give rigorous attention to works without substantial financial backing or cultural recognition, or that may not be covered elsewhere. Proud to collaborate with emerging and underrepresented writers, Full Stop publishes reviews, interviews, and feature essays online, along with two to four digital quarterlies per year.
Full Stop is committed to solidarity with the people of Palestine and their liberation and has endorsed the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).
