Michael Shapiro: Founder
The Big Roundtable publishes narrative nonfiction (aka longform) and conducts experiments is a digital publishing platform that aims to connect passionate nonfiction writers with readers who will support their work. They do this through experimental methods of gathering, selecting, editing, and distributing ambitious narrative stories, and,
eventually, researching the reading and sharing behavior around those stories. And by convening forums—online and in person—where writers can learn and connect for mutual support. The inspiration for The Big Roundtable came from the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York City writers who called themselves “The Vicious Circle” and who’d meet at the Algonquin Hotel in the early 20th century. They were vicious; they are not.
