The Paris Review<\/em>, a literary quarterly based in New York, announced that its editor, Emily Nemens, has resigned to pursue work on her second novel.<\/p>\n

In her statement, published today on The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s website<\/a>, Nemens said, \u201cThe Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s mission has always been a dual one: to provide a platform for great literature, and to inspire readers with ambitious new writing. I\u2019m proud that we\u2019ve been able to accomplish both during my time at the Review<\/em>, and I would like to thank the writers, readers, and colleagues on staff and the board who have collaborated with me toward these objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Paris Review<\/em>, founded in 1953, features original fiction and nonfiction, art, and in-depth interviews with notable writers about their creative processes. Under Nemens\u2019s leadership, the quarterly won awards and attained a record number of subscribers. The Review <\/em>also has an active digital presence with a large following, and has recently produced two seasons of podcasts featuring readings, interviews, and archival material.<\/p>\n

At the time of Nemens\u2019s departure, issue no. 236 has just appeared, and Nemens\u2019s editorial work on the Summer 2021 issue, no. 237, has been completed. The Paris Review <\/em>is undertaking an active search for her successor. \u201cWhile we will miss Emily,\u201d said co-presidents Matt Holt and Akash Shah, \u201cwe have a wonderful staff, and the magazine has never been in better shape financially. We are all very excited about the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for Emily Nemens\u2019s editorial stewardship of The Paris Review <\/em>during the past three years,\u201d said publisher Mona Simpson. \u201cIn particular, we thank Emily for her leadership guiding the staff through the anxieties and sorrows of the pandemic. We are excited for her new work and wish her every happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n
