Numéro Cinq staffers, contributors and contributing editors also post in the magazine.

Numéro Cinq been cross-posted on Utne Reader’s site, and posts have been republished on Salon.com and Hunger Mountain, the Vermont College of Fine Arts literary magazine site.

Founded by Douglas Glover, Numéro Cinq started January 11, 2010, as a reading, discussion and resource site for a group of Glover’s friends and Vermont College of Fine Arts writing students. Since then Numéro Cinq, has morphed into the multiform.

The name for the blog comes from Glover’s short story “The Obituary Writer”(published in Glover's anthology, A Guide to Animal Behaviour). The hero, based loosely on the author as a young newspaperman, harasses a neighbour by making loud noises in the night and pretending to be a member of a sinister terrorist group called Numéro Cinq.

While material presented in the Numéro Cinq magazine is by invitation only, the public is invited to comment on the blog and to participate in the site’s literary contests.
