What is Philadelphia Stories?
Since 2004, Philadelphia Stories has published writers and artists from the Greater Delaware Valley in its free magazine, reaching more than 5,000 readers every quarter. Philadelphia Stories is the ONLY publication that specifically supports Philadelphia-area writers, building its mission on Philadelphia’s long history of literary tradition.
Philadelphia was home to famous authors that include Ben Franklin, Louisa May Alcott, Pearl S Buck, and James Michener. Now, thanks to Philadelphia Stories, readers can discover new local authors all year long by picking up a free copy of the magazine at their local library, bookstore, cafe, or any one of Philadelphia Stories’ hundreds of locations.
In addition to connecting writers to readers, Philadelphia Stories also offers professional development opportunities to writers by hosting affordable workshops where writers can fine-tune their craft. Philadelphia Stories also promotes writing and art from the Greater Delaware Valley regionally and nationally through events like art exhibits, festivals, contests, book release parties, and more.

“I support Philadelphia Stories because it supports me as a writer, and my students. It’s good for me and for my students to have a journal, published locally, that publishes the best of Philadelphia writers and artists. It’s good for Philadelphia, too, to show the talent that is here to the world. I consider Philadelphia Stories my partner in growing that talent”. – Alison Hicks, Founder & Director, Greater Philadelphia Wordshop Studio
