There’s a new literary journal online, and I think you’ll like it.
Enjoyed reading @jennyrough‘s The Golden Notebook in the latest issue of @ComposeJournal – really relatable, well-written piece.
@ComposeJournal‘s one of my faves. Well worth a follow if you like #flashfiction &#poetry!

Have you read the first issue of @ComposeJournal yet? Get on it!
Spending a sunny afternoon on my deck browsing essays in the inaugural issue of @ComposeJournal. Impressive!
Compose is presenting fabulous work on a regular basis. Maybe even some of mine…someday. Give it a read.
Some journals are great about putting writers work in-progress pronto via Submittable! We’re talking about Compose composejournal.com !
One thing that’s difficult to gauge about an online journal is how much material there is. You can’t pick it up and get a sense of its size by hefting it around a bit. Let me assure you that the Fall 2014 issue of Compose Journal is BIG.
The writing looks fantastic […] and the entire journal is classy and stylish. Compose is a work of art. I can’t wait to read it all.
