I'm working on launching an online "journal" of sorts, focused on publishing short essays from people who don't ever publish if only because they don't have editorial support or a place for their writing to live. It would also serve as a writers group, a way to support and encourage people looking to improve their writing.
Topics: The aim is to hone in on commentary about books, reading, writing, and broadly speaking, thinking and self-knowledge. I also want to publish stuff that is more exploratory and suggestive than conclusive. Maybe each essay ends with questions? Less tech, more humanities. No ads on the site, can publish anonymously, simple design, good typography, all text. No frameworks or scripts or portals, just the basics needed for a great reading experience.
I don't know. Something like that. If this sounds interesting to anyone, would love to chat.
