Fahmidan Journal

About

Founded in the Summer of 2020 by Ranna Kisswani & A.R. Arthur (formerly A.R. Salandy), Fahmidan Journal hopes to bring out diverse voices and their cacophonous words.
Send us your thought-provoking existentialism, your phobias, your darkest moments. Entrance us with your whimsical fantasy. Move us to tears with your truth in a world of suffering. Captivate and intrigue us with your hopes and dreams.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
