At one point or another, everyone has a story that someone needs to hear.  We are 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. 

If you have a piece of writing you think someone would benefit from reading and would like to be a part of our online community, please submit.  Poems and Creative Nonfiction Personal Essays are welcome. Essays should be between 500 and 3,000 words and submitted in some sort of word or google document. Please submit a third person author bio and photo.
