- Book 1 of 2: The Standard Magazine
A new literary magazine for writers and aspiring writers that picks up where Writer’s Digest and Poets & Writers began — a place to show our work and how we approach the pathway to truthful publication. Every issue pairs original fiction with a nonfiction craft feature exploring how fine fiction works and why it matters. This issue asks the foundational question: Why do we need better fiction?
The Standard does not accept or commission outside submissions. Every original work of fiction in this magazine is written by a student in the Story Grid Writer Mentorship Program and edited by a Story Grid editor. The stories are not illustrations of a theory — they are proofs of concept, evidence that the Story Grid methodology produces real work that meets a real standard. Each issue also includes masterwork short stories — touchstones from the literary tradition that set the bar our writers are working to meet. Full color throughout. 108 pages. Original artwork accompanies every piece.

Story Grid began with Shawn Coyne’s 2015 book The Story Grid: What Good Editors Know, which introduced a methodology for analyzing and improving narrative craft. Over the past decade, Story Grid has grown into a community of writers, editors, and artists dedicated to understanding how stories work and why they matter. The Standard Magazine is the next step — a place where that work meets the page. This is where we are now. Not as an endpoint, but as a commitment to continual improvement.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
