VQR delivers true stories across its platforms as #VQRTrueStory—from Instagram, website, magazine, and abroad. Each week, a contributor takes over VQR Instagram feed, @vqreview, to post original dispatches that tell the stories behind the pictures. The dispatches are then published on VQR website as a complete essay.
With each issue, VQR selects a handful of dispatches from various contributors to include in the magazine’s #VQRTrueStory column.
You can visit the #VQRTrueStory archive to read all the contributions.
Tune and follow @vqreview to keep up with the project as it unfolds.

VQR’s primary mission has been to sustain and strengthen Jefferson’s bulwark, long describing itself as “A National Journal of Literature and Discussion.” And for good reason. From its inception in prohibition, through depression and war, in prosperity and peace, the Virginia Quarterly Review has been a haven—and home—for the best essayists, fiction writers, and poets, seeking contributors from every section of the United States and abroad. It has not limited itself to any special field. No topic has been alien: literary, public affairs, the arts, history, the economy. If it could be approached through essay or discussion, poetry or prose, VQR has covered it.
