Hello, world! We're Off Assignment, a nonprofit literary magazine with a penchant for journeys and a fascination with strangers. We publish highly curated narrative nonfiction, and also offer online writing courses. We're excited to be here—here's a thread of what we're all about!

In April I’m teaching an online masterclass for bsky.app/profile/offa... about writing grief, five sessions on Saturday mornings. I wrote you a letter about why this work matters; it's here, along with info about how you (and your friends and maybe your mom?) can join us. mailchi.mp/offassignmen...

I love essays with secret trap doors built into them. Halfway through this gem of @offassignment.bsky.social tale, you find yourself in another story altogether. Exquisite. www.offassignment.com/articles/eli...
