About The Republic of Letters

The Republic of Letters has three goals: to be smart, to be democratic, and to have a sense of humor about itself.

It is a digitally-forward magazine dedicated to contests, debates, and polemics on literary and cultural themes.

Vision

The idea with The Republic of Letters is to be at the same time playful and unabashedly high-brow. It is a chance for writers to grapple with significant ideas in the world of arts & letters and to do so in a spirit of fun-loving competition. And to make a little money while they’re at it.

Why Support The Republic of Letters
