Our Story

It began in late January of 2024, two days after my seventeenth birthday. For the past few months I had begun really diving into the scene of literary magazine's, one of those being 'The Empty Inkwell' which begun to really inspire me. I was always a creative person, an affinity for art, design, prose and poetry (the skill of photography was something I could never grasp) so I though to myself;

'I want to create something, something that I can use my creativity for and have as a interest project to work on alongside school' Which is where I had the idea of creating my own literary magazine by myself. 

I had wildly underestimated the amount of work that was required to get everything starting without the help of anyone but when I accomplished everything little by little I felt more accomplished than ever before; that is what made everything worth it. Thank you for checking this out and I hope you stick by us as we continue to grow and establish our name in the literary magazine world!
