About

Everyone has a story to tell, and we want to gather interesting, diverse and beautifully crafted true stories, whether they span weeks, months, or just a few moments. The journal will include short stories, personal essays and memoirs, and you are invited to contribute. How much of your story is truth and how much you use your creative licence is up to you, but we are looking for writing that is courageous and revealing - the only theme here is you.
