App Description

The Atavist Magazine produces one blockbuster nonfiction story a month, generally between 5,000 and 30,000 words. Atavist stories are cinematic tales built off of in-depth reporting and writing from the best journalists and essayists out there. In four years we’ve been nominated for eight National Magazine Awards (and won once) and an Emmy, among many other reporting, writing, and design accolades.

The Atavist Magazine brings you riveting true tales of adventures, love stories, and lives well lived. From a too-wild-to-believe yarn about a band of high school students turned drug smugglers, to the story of a whale that sings at a frequency inaudible to other members of its species, The Atavist Magazine offers original stories you won’t find anywhere else. It’s one of BuzzFeed’s “16 Super Useful Apps Every Commuter Needs,” and an experience that reviewers from Gizmodo to The New York Times have lauded as the future of storytelling.
