Need help finding websites similar to Thought Catalog

March 22, 2013 7:27 AM

Are there any blog/writing websites out there that are like Thought Catalog, but slightly more... mature I guess? Without the high-school/college drama or pop culture nonsense. Sometimes I feel just slightly too old for TC's target demographic. :/ But I do enjoy reading short blog posts from a variety of authors. Thanks in advance

Seconding The Awl - I also really like sister site The Hairpin. Also maybe check out The Smart Set.

McSweeney's skews towards humor specifically but the writing is always pretty sharp.

The Rumpus .net fits what you're asking for to a T.
