About
Long reviews of small books and small reviews of long ones.
Threadcount Review is an independent online magazine founded in 2025 to do one thing: long-form, careful reporting on the parts of life that move too slowly to make the daily wire feeds.
Threadcount Review is an editorial of book reviews, literary essays, reissue criticism, and reports from independent publishing.
The magazine is run by a small editorial collective, the Threadcount Editorial Trust, constituted as a non-profit publisher. Decisions about coverage, accuracy, and editorial direction are taken independently of any commercial interest. We do not run display advertising.
We publish under five named contributors who together edit and write the magazine. You can read about each on the contributor pages. Pieces are commissioned, reported, edited, fact-checked, and published in roughly four-week cycles.
We hold ourselves to three standards. Our editorial policy, our style guide, our ethics statement.
