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

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.

[W]ho is this stunning Rebecca Hazelton—Master of Images? […] Last stanza of first poem has me ruined as a writer. […] Her command of language and the images she creates are breathtaking.

I’m so impressed by the levels of professionalism & dedication . . . @ComposeJournal.

There’s a new literary journal online, and I think you’ll like it.

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

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

Compose is presenting fabulous work on a regular basis. Maybe even some of mine…someday. Give it a read. 

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.
