Chapman (magazine)

Chapman was a literary magazine based in Edinburgh, Scotland.^[1] It has published many Scottish and international authors, including Iain Crichton Smith, Alasdair Gray, Sorley MacLean and Kathleen Raine. It covered new poetry and short fiction, as well as critical essays and reviews.

It was started in 1970^[2][3] as The Chapman, a pamphlet edited by George Hardie and Walter Perrie. Robert Calder, Joy Hendry and Walter Perrie edited the magazine during 1975. Hendry began editing the title in conjunction with Perrie, then solo from issue 16 in 1976. She was the magazine's editor until 2005.^[4]

It was variously known as Chapman magazine, Chapman: Scotland's Quality Literary Magazine, but Chapman was its proper title.
