Hobart is an American literary magazine that publishes fiction, poetry, interviews, and essays. Founded as an online magazine in 2001, Hobart grew into a biannual print magazine in 2003.[1] The founding editor was Aaron Burch.[2] Past issues have been dedicated to topics such as luck, the outdoors, and games.[3] In addition to print and web content, in 2006 Hobart added a book division (Short Flight/Long Drive Books), with Elizabeth Ellen as editor.[1] In October 2022, Burch and most of the editors resigned after Ellen published an interview with writer Alex Perez who criticized elitism, "wokeness" and other issues in the literary world.[4] [5] [6] [7]

Several pieces appearing in Hobart have received awards or were selected for anthologies: recent selections include Roxane Gay's story “North Country” and Mike Meginnis' “Navigators” that were selected for The Best American Short Stories 2012 .[8]
