New Yorkshire Writing
''New Yorkshire Writing'' was a British literary quarterly which briefly gained one of the largest circulations of what is commonly called a 'little magazine', distributed as a supplement in 13,000 copies of ''The Month In Yorkshire'', the arts listings magazine then published by the Yorkshire Arts Association (YAA). It had an estimated readership of 45,000 according to an announcement by YAA’s Director Michael Dawson. He proposed in a launch press release that the magazine’s distribution method “would bring serious creative fiction and poetry to a much larger and more varied audience than usual”. All contributors were to be paid, something that only a handful of British literary magazines were able to do.
== Editor and format ==
The editor of ''New Yorkshire Writing'' was Jay Jeff Jones, an expatriate American playwright and poet who had previously been associate editor of ''Wordworks'',〔(Abel.co.uk )〕〔(Abel.co.uk )〕 the Manchester-based experimental writing magazine published by Michael Butterworth and an occasional contributor to ''Transatlantic Review''. Jones was invited to take the position by a panel that included the poets Peter Morgan and Cal Clothier. He edited the magazine while moonlighting from his job as a UK regional Creative Director for Saatchi & Saatchi. The magazine's designer, Chris Rhodes, was also a Saatchi employee.
The format of the magazine was tabloid, an uncommon style for a literary magazine, excepting the contemporaneous London based magazine, ''Bananas'',〔(Utexas.edu )〕 edited by Emma Tennant.〔(Litencyc.com )〕 The YAA financed ''New Yorkshire Writing'', establishing the magazine in the wake of a contentious closure of ''Yorkshire Review'', a literary quarterly that it published in 1976. The editor of the latter, Robert Shaw (poet), had been dismissed by the same Literature Panel which was later to protest at the editorial independence of the new magazine being compromised.
The first issue of ''New Yorkshire Writing'' appeared in Summer 1977 and the final issue, number 8, in Spring 1979. The contents’ emphasis was short fiction, poetry and reviews from or related to writers and publishers with a Yorkshire connection. In practice this qualification was liberally interpreted to allow writers that were temporarily resident in or just passing through the county.
