New World Journal

Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

New World is a journal of stories devoted to reuniting a divided tradition: writers who experience, adventure or live on the fringe first, then draw upon those experiences to create captivating and thought-provoking stories. We seek to assemble the modern continuation of that tradition in hardcover journals made to last and to be passed down from one generation to the next.
We look back to the lost age of Conrad, London, Stevenson, Hemingway, Robinson Crusoe, The Arabian Nights, and National Geographic: a tradition of adventure and discovery, but also of strange moral systems, philosophical questions, distant places, and encounters with unfamiliar ways of life.
