About the magazine

Fahmidan Journal is an independent literary and arts publication founded in 2020, rooted in a commitment to amplifying marginalized voices and fostering cross-cultural dialogue. Its ethos centers on accessibility and experimentation, publishing poetry, fiction, essays, and visual art that challenge conventional narratives and embrace diverse perspectives. The journal operates with a lean, editor-driven model, prioritizing work that feels urgent, honest, and formally inventive.

Editorial focus

Founded in the summer of 2020 by Ranna Kisswani and A.R. Arthur (formerly A.R. Salandy), Fahmidan Journal hopes to bring out diverse voices and their cacophonous words. Now in its fourth year, Fahmidan Journal is now a paying market! The journal publishes quarterly. Send the editors your thought-provoking existentialism, your phobias, your darkest moments. Entrance them with your whimsical fantasy. Move them to tears with your truth in a world of suffering. Captivate and intrigue them with your hopes and dreams.
