Welcome to Crowd, a new, kickass online literary journal. We are searching for great new writing.

Crowd looks to help legitimize online literary publishing, which has, unfortunately we believe, been stewing in a mess of poor web design and clichés that hasn’t successfully engaged writers and readers intellectually. We are also convinced that there are not many public, wide-reaching forums of criticism for new writers, which is why we will be publishing short criticism and seeking the opinions of authors and readers.

We love literature that doesn’t value, as Robert Stewart, the editor of New Letters, puts it: “cleverness, smugness, in-consequence.” We want art with serious purpose.

We are working hard to build our web site and journal and we would be thrilled if you could join the excitement. Please consider sending Crowd a poem or piece of short prose for our upcoming issues.
