L'Épître

Founded in 2013, "L’Épître" is a French-speaking Swiss literary magazine publishing new and established authors from Switzerland and abroad. Through its online platform, "L’Épître" offers a place for tryouts and experimental writing. Feedback is given on every submitted text, including those rejected. The committee puts great effort into editorial work and aims at helping writers progress according to their levels and needs. Since its foundation, the magazine has published hundreds of new and established authors on its online platform and on paper, a more selective yearly format.

"L’Épître" organises about 30 literary events per year, including readings, performances, residencies and writing workshops. Recently, it has curated an exhibition addressing climate change. The magazine endeavours to make literature accessible to an audience as broad as possible. It strives to remunerate writing professionals, a practice still less than common in the French-speaking literary world.
