About Argosy

Generally credited with being the first true “pulp fiction” magazine, Argosy is a magazine with an illustrious history. 

Originally published in 1882 as Golden Argosy, it became Argosy in 1896 and went on to publish such notables as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Horatio Alger, Louis L’Amour, and Dashiell Hammett. 

Over the last century, many different magazines emerged bearing the Argosy name, from Argosy UK to Argosy All-Story, to a well-intentioned but short lived 90s revival.

Now, under the guidance of James A. Owen as Designer and Editorial Director, Coppervale International has launched a new Argosy magazine, developed to publish quality fiction in a wide range of genres and styles, from science fiction and fantasy to mystery to mainstream, as well as nonfiction essays and interviews.

Trade-paperback-sized, each issue of Argosy will be composed of two volumes – the main magazine, and a separately bound novella – and will be packaged in an illustrated slipcase.
