One thing I like about the name Compose is that it says that good writing doesn’t just happen – it’s crafted, it’s allowed to ripen, it requires work and dedication and skill, all of which can be learned but takes commitment.

Spending a sunny afternoon on my deck browsing essays in the inaugural issue of @ComposeJournal. Impressive!

The inaugural issue of @ComposeJournal is beautiful, inside & out. Strong writing & a gorgeous site design.

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.

@ComposeJournal‘s one of my faves. Well worth a follow if you like #flashfiction &#poetry!

Continuing to connect with other writers online. Just followed @ComposeJournal. You should check it out.

Some journals are great about putting writers work in-progress pronto via Submittable! We’re talking about Compose composejournal.com !

So excited to dive into @ComposeJournal‘s inaugural issue!

I really love this issue’s cover for @ComposeJournal. … A lil saffron-robed woodblock Buddha abstracted out mid-journey.

@ComposeJournal is a new journal to watch out for. Some of their pieces are instant classics!
