History

'' adiadorMagazine'' was founded in México City in September 2011 by poets Daniel Malpica and Emmanuel Vizcaya. The name was an idea of Vizcaya influenced by Mexican stridentist movement. They launched their first edition (issue number 0) thinking of eventually migrating to a printed format, but that never happened. The project regain editorial design in the internet era, creating monthly interactive issues that can be read or downloaded for free. All their contents are supported under a

. About the digital platforms, Malpica, wrote:

adiadorMagazine ..was initially thought of as a modest publication. We were looking to build more of a catalogue showcasing emergent poets of my country. However, after completing Issue 0, we decided to stay on board the digital platform and explore its possibilities. The response we got was surprising. The outreach of the magazine, both in readers and collaborators, went beyond national borders and became Spanish-speaking. The same can be said about the age group, now that we have readers and writers born in the 1950s to the 1990s. More than that, the e-platforms allow us to accomplish a professional monthly project in a condensed work team: Emmanuel Vizcaya (in charge of the poetry content) and myself (as editor-in-chief and designer). Thanks to the e-platforms, we are an autonomous project that works to facilitate exposure of and unite writers in Latin America.
