Front and back cover of Folding Rock Issue 1

Folding Rock 1: Roots will be published on 6 March 2025. Pre-order here and subscribe to Folding Rock here.

Featuring new work from writers including Sophie Mackintosh, Jay Griffiths, Joe Dunthorne and Rachel Dawson.

 

Roots can take hold in myriad ways: in the places we are born, the ones we come from, and those we learn to call home. They bind us to our histories, our environment, and the people who surround us. Our roots embroider the bedrock of everything we do – for better or worse. They are the vessels that feed our future.

 

In this inaugural issue, writers both new and established come together to explore the shape and curious spread of life’s foundations, as Folding Rock seeks to lay its own first roots in the world.
