For writers who believe the work comes first.
Written Tales is more than a literary publication. It’s a community built around a simple idea: exceptional writing deserves to be judged on its merit, published with care, and actively championed.
Whether you’re an emerging writer or an established author, membership connects you to a community that values thoughtful prose, honest editorial standards, and lasting relationships with its writers.
If you’re looking for another place to submit a story, there are thousands of literary journals.
If you’re looking for a literary home that believes great writing deserves to be read, promoted, and remembered, welcome to Written Tales.

A Literary Home for Your Work
Publication shouldn’t be the end of the relationship between a writer and a literary community.
Every published member receives a permanent Written Tales Author Portfolio featuring their published work, biography, and links to their website or portfolio. Your page grows alongside your work, giving readers, editors, and publishers a single place to discover your writing.
We also continue promoting the writers we publish through the Written Tales newsletter and social channels. We believe exceptional work deserves an audience, and the writers behind that work deserve to be remembered.
