J Journal seeks new writing – fiction, flash, creative nonfiction (1st person narrative, personal essay, memoir) and poetry – that takes on justice.  Our most powerful pieces relate tangentially to the justice theme, though we do occasionally publish work that speaks directly of crime, criminal justice, law, and law enforcement. As a literary project, however, J Journal is less likely to publish straightforward genre fiction. We look for writing brave enough to find the justice question in the ordinary.
