mojo is the online version of the printed Mikrokosmos Literary Journal. Mikrokosmos/mojo is dedicated to the revolution of literary spaces–the breaking of conventions, the exploration of provocation, and the inclusion of all voices. Whether established, emerging or just beginning your narrative journey, Mikro/mojo exists to offer writers a platform to share their ideas and tell their stories.
We accept fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, published in the Fall and Spring. All selected works are considered for the annual edition of Mikrokosmos—which has been published for over fifty years, featuring work from William S. Burroughs, Charles Plymell, and William Stafford, among others.
Now, give us something to read—we want to revolt.
