History


The magazine was launched in 2000. In 2004, the editors unsuccessfully tried to prevent the Daily Mirror newspaper from publishing a short-lived 3am Magazine supplement based around its 3am Girls gossip column.[3] The site was also called "irreverently highbrow" by The Observer,[4] "suitably roguish for a website that aims to be an online Fitzrovia" by The Daily Telegraph,[5] while The Independent has hailed its commitment to 'the avant-garde' on several occasions.[6] The Spanish daily ABC hailed it as "the Offbeats' New Yorker".[7]


An anthology covering its first five years of publishing, The Edgier Waters, was published in Britain by Snowbooks in June 2006, featuring writers Steve Almond, Bruce Benderson, Michael Bracewell, Tom Bradley, Billy Childish, Steven Hall, Ben Myers, Tim Parks, Mark Simpson, HP Tinker and Kenji Siratori, as well as poetry pieces arranged by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo alongside Tyondai Braxton.


A volume of city-themed fiction, 3:AM London, Paris, New York followed in February 2008 (on Social Disease) and featured Henry Baum, Chris Cleave, Niven Govinden, Laura Hird, Toby Litt, Lee Rourke, Nicholas Royle, Matt Thorne and Evie Wyld.[8]


In July 2012 the site was temporarily offline due to an issue with its server provider.[9]


In 2014, a book-length collection of 3:AM's popular 'End Times' interviews with notable philosophers was published by Oxford University Press, reflecting the magazine's increasingly philosophical emphasis. A further volume followed in 2017.


3:AM was listed among Flavorwire's 25 best websites for literature lovers in 2013, and The Guardian's top 5 literary blogs in 2014.

3:AM sees itself as an extension of publishing traditions forged by earlier literary magazines before the advent of webzines.[10] It has claimed its litblog 'Buzzwords' to be the world's first (since 2000).[11] The magazine features literary criticism, fiction, poetry, and interviews with writers, philosophers and intellectuals.


In its early period, 3:AM focused particularly on cult and transgressive fiction, for instance Attack! Books and Stewart Home. Its outlook and coverage was for some years post-punk, particularly the emphasis on Blank Generation authors and elements of Prada-Meinhof (for instance Stuart Christie and John Barker). Stuckism featured prominently, from the poetry of Billy Childish and fellow Buff Medway Wolf Howard, to the regular column by Charles Thomson, though equally 3:AM also carried pieces supportive of Britart, in particular on Damien Hirst and with Matthew Collings. There was also a strong musical presence on the site, from an extensive archive by and about punk rockers (including several interviews with members of the Bromley Contingent), through to pieces by and about Spacemen 3 and other shoegazer acts.


Authors interviewed several times include Steve Almond, Will Ashon, Stephen Barber, Childish, Andrei Codrescu, Dennis Cooper, Richard Hell, Home, Tom Bradley, Wu Ming, Michael Moorcock, Dan Rhodes, Nicholas Royle, Iain Sinclair, Scarlett Thomas, Cathi Unsworth, Helen Walsh, Jon Savage, and Simon Critchley. The magazine also interviewed figures in the underground press, such as Lisa Crystal Carver, Lydia Lunch, Mick Farren and Pleasant Gehman. It carried poetry by Charles Bukowski and featured interviews by Bukowski acolyte Ben Pleasants, including with John Fante and Steve Richmond. Former Kenickie and Brian Jonestown Massacre keyboardist turned novelist Tony O'Neill was a regular contributor and interviewee.


Past columnists have included Sophie Parkin, Ben Myers, Hillary Raphael, and Cathi Unsworth, while past editors have included Noah Cicero, Heidi James, Travis Jeppesen, Tao Lin (Poetry Editor), Adelle Stripe and HP Tinker.


Tom McCarthy (whom it championed from the outset of his writing career) has written several pieces for 3:AM and appeared at a number of its events.[12] 3:AM Editor Andrew Gallix runs the unofficial Tom McCarthy site 'Surplus Matter'[13] It has reviewed, interviewed and run excerpts of avant-garde writers Lunch, Barber, and Home.


In recent years 3:AM became more eminent in the translation of European avant-garde poetry under its Maintenant series. Its 3:AM Asia strand has also covered transgressive culture and artists, particularly from Japan. The 'End Times' series of interviews with leading philosophers became a crucial part of 3:AM's identity, which resulted in collected interviews being published by Oxford University Press. Recently, 3:AM has also shown an increased engagement with avant-garde fiction and with essayistic, philosophically-inflected forms of literary criticism. In 2014 it partnered with the British Film Institute for their Derek Jarman season on the 20th anniversary of his death. In 2016 it reintroduced its earlier music strand of essayistic journalism and interviews.



Controversy


On March 19, 2019, the magazine unpublished an interview of philosopher Holly Lawford-Smith.[14] The article expressed the "gender-critical” perspective on transgender issues, leading to accusations of transphobia. Four editorial board members, Eley Williams, David Winters, Hestia Peppe, and Joanna Walsh, resigned. In response to the "depublication" of the interview, the author, philosopher and senior editor Richard Marshall resigned from 3:AM.[15] On March 20, 2019, Andrew Gallix temporarily shut down the website, stating “I don’t know if our publication, after almost 20 years, will survive all this.”[16]



Editors


As of April 2019, the Co-Editor in Chief of 3:AM is Andrew Gallix with Joseph Schrieber (Non-Fiction Editor), Mark de Silva (Fiction Editor), SJ Fowler (Poetry Editor), Lee Rourke and Isabella Streffen (Contributing Editors).
