The View From Here

"Attractive, informative, sparkling and useful - TVFH is so many of the things I'm not - sigh - ..."
Iain Banks

We are a print and on-line literary magazine with author interviews, book reviews, Exclusively Independent News, original fiction and articles.
Designed and edited by an international team we bring an entertaining mix of wit, insight and intelligence all packaged in beautifully designed pages that mix the new with the famous.

We have interviewed authors like Iain Banks, Julian Barnes, Markus Zusak, James Meek, Tom McCarthy, Paul Torday and Marina Lewycka.

The View From Here has a close working relationship with The Random House Group, Cannongate, Alma Books, Faber, Legend Press and the Arts Council funded Exclusively Independent Scheme.

In 2009 we were shortlisted as a finalist for the best UK blog.

The View From Here is also in selected libraries in the South East of England.
