Long-form narrative articles were extremely popular in days gone by, but they've seen a steady decline in our increasingly digital, 140-character world. While longer pieces of journalism are a bit harder to find these days, several great websites have popped up to curate the best long-form writing. Here are three worth bookmarking:
Longreads
A reader-supported site hosted by The Atlantic, Longreads features the best fiction and nonfiction from all around the web. Each story is over 1,500 words long, and you can explore them all through the handy search bar or by browsing categories like sports or memoir.
Longform.org
Longform.org collects both new and classic long-form non-fiction pieces and compiles them into one convenient, expansive website. Best of all, readers can save articles to read later on a Kindle, Pocket, Instapaper, or Readability, allowing you to access them while on the train to work or even at the gym.
The Browser
Since 2008, the Browser has been recommending 5 to 6 pieces of long-form journalism and non-fiction to readers per day via their simple, easy-to-navigate website. The Browser’s content is carefully selected and always free, and they will even occasionally post an interesting video or a thought-provoking quote to keep readers on their toes.
