Scribner’s Magazine to Be Reincarnated as Literary Website

Scribner's Magazine, a literary journal that rivaled Harper's Monthly and the Atlantic Monthly from 1887 until 1939, is being reincarnated as a new literary website launching Wednesday.

The new project is called Scribner Magazine. It's not intended as a digital equivalent of its print predecessor, which published fiction and nonfiction from the likes of Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edith Wharton and Theodore Roosevelt.

Instead, the site is about authors, and their books.
