I woke up in London this morning to an email from Narrative Magazine:
NARRATIVE MAGAZINE
announces
a new issue of StoryQuarterly
to be published later this month
with nine wonderful new stories.Narrative is pleased to be StoryQuarterly’s new publisher
and will continue SQ’s thirty-two year heritage of affirmation for stories.Narrative subscribers may use their Narrative id and password to access SQ.
Both magazines are offered to readers for free.
They promise to continue Story Quarterly’s “thirty-two year heritage of affirmation for stories”–when did this happen?
I went to Story Quarterly Magazine’s website:
Welcome to StoryQuarterly. For more than three decades we’ve published new writers who have become well-known authors. We’re proud to continue that tradition with our new publisher, Narrative Magazine.
Clicking on the “About Us” link at Story Quarterly will take you to Narrative.

Do they have offices in all of those places?
