About Matchbook Stories
Matchbook Stories is a literary magazine in matchbox form. Each issue (a box) collects four tiny stories (each its own matchbook.) We fill each issue with writers and stories we love; in the short time we’ve been around we’ve already fit in our matchboxes stories by some of the best writers in the world.
Each matchbook is a tiny book in itself—with book cover art specifically designed for the stories. We are small but we get around: you can find Matchbook Stories in some of the most beautiful bookshops in the world.
Matchbook Stories is an experiment in form, a beautiful literary object and conversation, a few words that can be carried in a pocket and shared with a friend, or perhaps a complete stranger. No matches. Lots of fire.
