Welcome to EarthLines Magazine

earthlines cover

EarthLines is a full-colour A4-sized quarterly magazine of around 64 pages, dedicated to high quality writing on nature, place and the environment. Our focus is on writing which explores the relationship between people and the natural world, and encourages reconnection. We want to help forge a new ecoliterature that is truly responsive to, and that deeply and meaningfully engages with, the challenges we face. That doesn't just acknowledge, but that actively embraces all the contradictions and discomforts inherent in our relationship with the natural world – those contradictions which surface in all of our genuine attempts to reconnect.

Uniquely, EarthLines includes work by writers, storytellers, artists, scientists, and others who live close to or work with the natural world – we aim to be as inclusive as possible. We strongly believe that the future of ecoliterature is interdisciplinary: that inspiration for the kind of transformative work we're looking for will derive in good part from exposure to the ideas of philosophers, psychologists, ecologists, anthropologists, storytellers, mythographers, visual artists ... and a wide range of other fields of endeavour.

We hope that EarthLines will be more than a magazine. Our aspiration is to become a major positive force in inspiring and nurturing a closer connection between people and the natural world. We aim to do this not only by means of publishing the print magazine, but by building up a network of individuals who are committed to the project and the issues we focus on, using our website, blog, and all the other communications tools we have available to us. We want to encourage the conversations that lead to change.

EarthLines is also unique in that it is a magazine and a project that springs from a way of life that is rooted in the natural world and in the wild: it is published by independent publisher Two Ravens Press, from a working croft on the remote far western coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
