Publisher’s description: “The mother of all literary magazines,” as dubbed by Billy Collins, The Journal features a wide range of literary fiction, nonfiction, and poetry—traditional, experimental, and downright uncategorizable—and brief but insightful poetry reviews and observations.

We put an emphasis on publishing work by emerging, re-emerging, and under-recognized writers, as well as work that won’t find a home in more mainstream literary magazines. Our primary goal, as editors of The Journal for over fifteen years, is to not bore ourselves; our hope is that the work we publish does nothing less than generate more engagingly crafted and provocative writing among our writer-readers.
