The Writers’ Journal is a new online journal of fiction, creative nonfiction, and prose poetry, “dedicated to celebrating the art of storytelling.” They hope to showcase stories that, “inspire curiosity, provoke introspection, and foster connections between cultures.” They are seeking writing from both emerging and established authors from around the world.
