Mikrokosmos and Mojo Literary Journal: Mojo (Online Journal) — Nonfiction
Overview
Mojo operates as the online counterpart to Mikrokosmos and Mojo Literary Journal, extending the publication's literary scope into a digital space where nonfiction is considered alongside fiction and poetry. The journal's stated interests—innovation in form, structure, and language; work that connects and unsettles; risk-taking held in tension with clarity—signal a curatorial disposition toward writing that is formally alert and emotionally legible. Nonfiction here is not a secondary category but part of a broader editorial conversation about what contemporary writing can do. The call is open to all, with no submission fee, and the journal maintains a fixed reading period ending October 31, 2026. While the excerpt provided does not enumerate specific nonfiction subgenres, the surrounding editorial language suggests an appetite for essays that move with intention—whether lyrical, experimental, or argumentative—and that resist the merely conventional. Writers should understand that Mojo's aesthetic is shaped by its sibling print journal's investment in literary craft and by an online format that favors concision and immediacy. What the journal offers is publication in a venue that takes nonfiction seriously as literary art, without the barrier of a reading fee. There is no cash prize attached to this call; the reward is editorial selection and placement in an online journal with an established literary identity. The curatorial vision, as articulated across the journal's genre statements, favors work that is willing to take risks while maintaining clarity of expression—a standard that applies as much to nonfiction as to the poetry and fiction the journal describes.
