History

PSB Beginnings

Pint-Size Publications formed as a Chicago-based nonprofit in 1995, before the microbrew craze, to publish Sport Literate, an award-winning journal that offers “honest reflections on life’s leisurely diversions.” That print journal, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2020, may be the nation’s only literary journal with a creative nonfiction focus on sport.

Brewing Team

Many people have helped to keep Sport Literate afloat for nearly 25 years now. Though we should be old enough to know better than to invest more time and money into print publications, we’re still rolling with a skeletal crew because of our passion for these titles.

Sport Literate

With a primary focus on the creative nonfiction exploration of sports, this journal has created a niche in the literary marketplace. Writers and poets use sport as a literary springboard, and the published work has often sparkled. Our writers continue to earn praise from national anthologies, including Best American Essays and Best American Sports Writing. Check them out here.
