Hobart is an American literary magazine that publishes fiction, poetry, interviews, and essays. Founded as an online magazine in 2001, Hobart grew into a biannual print magazine in 2003. [1] The founding editor was Aaron Burch. [2] Past issues have been dedicated to topics such as luck, the outdoors, and games. [3] In addition to print and web content, in 2006 Hobart added a book division (Short Flight/Long Drive Books), with Elizabeth Ellen as editor. [1] In October 2022, Burch and most of the editors resigned after Ellen published an interview with writer Alex Perez where Perez engaged in right-wing talking points about "wokeness". [4] [5] [6] [7]
