    Passengers Journal latest issue

    A fully-voiced journal of literary and visual art. We seek art that is necessary rather than desired. We want to be shaken, surprised, and moved. Each quarterly issue is completely listenable and voiced by professional voice actors.

    • Cover letter

      We find no fault with the industry-standard third-person biography. Yet, we do encourage you to be your most genuine self. Mentioning your current reading, a current project, or even why you create provides additional insight into your work that is often appreciated. We ask that all submissions include a third person bio that can be published alongside accepted pieces. We want to know whose work we are considering.
