literary journal

A literary journal is a publication that showcases creative writing and literary works, such as poetry, fiction, essays, and sometimes art. It is typically produced by educational institutions, literary organizations, or independent publishers, and serves as a platform for both emerging and established writers to share their work with readers and other writers. Literary journals often focus on quality and originality, providing readers with high-caliber, thought-provoking content. They are usually released periodically—monthly, quarterly, or annually—and can be found in print or digital formats, fostering a community of literary engagement and cultural discourse.
