About

Established in 2010 Verity La is an on-line creative arts journal, publishing short fiction and poetry, cultural comment, photomedia, interviews and review (literature, film and contemporary music only). As it says on the mast-head, bravery is essential in this neck of the woods, which means creative risk-taking, freedom, and – above all else – being no one but yourself. We are interested in new voices, different voices, progressive voices; we like writing that gets you in the head as well as the gut, that has a point, that isn’t afraid. Whether it’s fiction, poetry, comment or review, we want high-quality text, and by ‘high-quality’ we mean thoughtfully composed, a focus on words, words with impact.
