Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Proximity is a young, but quickly growing, nonfiction literary magazine published quarterly by an all-volunteer staff. A collection of true stories, each issue pulls together personal and documentary storytelling, diverse in form and length, based on a single theme. At Proximity, we’re curious about the shape-shifting nature of our proximity to one another. We’re fascinated by the things that connect us, across real and imagined boundaries, across time and place. We believe that tangible connections—the kind that root us in a specific place, time, or culture—are living wells of fresh ideas, offering new perspectives and a better understanding of the way we live our lives. We hope the stories we publish will expand our readers’ views of the world while grounding readers in their own communities. We choose stories that encourage reflection, laughter, conversation, difficult-but-important questions, and, on occasion, a really good cry. Proximity’s founding editors—Carrie Kilman, Towles Kintz, Traci Macnamara, and Maggie Messitt—published our first issue in January 2013.
