About

An online journal and community publishing personal essays and poems. We are looking for stories to bring others together. Stories that will make us laugh and make us cry, inspire us to be better or pick up the pen ourselves. We are looking for poems written in the notes app on your phone and stories in the journals you swore you didn’t keep.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
