Focused on literary fiction and nonfiction, Literary Hub publishes personal and critical essays, interviews, and book excerpts from over 100 partners,[2] including independent presses (New Directions Publishing, Graywolf Press), large publishers (Simon & Schuster, Alfred A. Knopf), bookstores (Book People, Politics and Prose), non-profits (PEN America), and literary magazines (The Paris Review, n+1). The mission of Literary Hub is to be the "site readers can rely on for smart, engaged, entertaining writing about all things books."[2] The website has been featured in The Washington Post,[3] The Guardian,[4] and Poets & Writers.[5]

In 2019, Literary Hub launched their new blog, The Hub, alongside LitHub Radio, a "network of bookish podcasts featuring some established favorites of the genre along with a new show or two".[6] They also maintain a website for crime, mystery and thriller literature called CrimeReads.[7]

On October 22nd, 2019, Lit Hub announced a partnership with The Podglomerate, launching Storybound, a new podcast created and hosted by Jude Brewer, exploring "everything from family life to friendship, relationships to histories, and how everything in life can be impacted by the power of a good story."[8]

Book Marks is an American review-aggregation website for books. It was launched by Literary Hub in June 2016.[10][11][12] The service aggregates reviews from approximately 70 sources, including newspapers, magazines, and websites, and averages them into a score:[10][13] "rave", "positive", "mixed", or "pan".

gollark: Also, this should probably list the features the USB-C port supports, because the USB-IF people really seem to have sown confusion about those.
gollark: The slow size creep is annoying, though, especially since battery life doesn't improve. It's not like people have bigger hands.
gollark: I'm currently used to a 5" one, but the screen is at least probably not going to be too much bigger horizontally because of the aspect ratio.
gollark: Yes, which I consider excessively big.
gollark: The screen sounds excessively big, though.
