About

The Bell Jar [is] a literary journal dedicated to providing an honest insight into the complexity of mental illness. Inside The Bell Jar intends to bring together a collection of hand-picked writers, whose stories and poems tell of the darkness in which they are living. Our authors and poets may have a direct link to a mental illness (either because of their own struggles or those of a family member), or at the very least show a deep, unique and compassionate understanding of what it means to live inside a bell jar.
