Thanks to everyone who supported The Pedestrian this past year. Regrettably, the journal is going on hiatus until more resources can be found to support it. During the hiatus content will continue to be posted to the blog and The Pedestrian's Facebook page. If you would like to be one of the first to hear when publication resumes with Issue No. 3, please subscribe to the blog's RSS feed or become a fan of the Facebook page where the announcement will be posted.

During the hiatus you can still purchase the print editions of Issues 1 and 2, as well as read essays from the first two issues online.

Thanks again for your interest in The Pedestrian.

NewPages reviews The Pedestrian No. 1

Lesley Dame reviews The Pedestrian No. 1 at NewPages.com. Take a look.

The Pedestrian is dedicated to immortalizing what some may view as a dying art, the essay. With the rise of creative nonfiction, the essay has been sorely missing from many modern journals. The existence of this magazine is promising, and, like any good essay, ripe with curiosity, wonder, and philosophy.
