# newest submissions : longform Welcome to r/longform! We are a community that enjoys a good read. We appreciate longform journalism, narrative journalism, and creative nonfiction. We believe that a good content is worth taking the time to fully immerse yourself, often times in a comfy chair. A good "longform" piece will typically be over 2000 words, but could be as high as 20,000. The subject of the piece does not have to fit any specific guidelines as long as it is high quality writing.
