Fahmidan Background
Founded in the Summer of 2020 by Ranna Kisswani & A.R. Arthur (Formerly A.R. Salandy), Fahmidan Journal hopes to bring out diverse voices and their cacophonous words. Our Press, founded in 2021 is focused on the publication of POC & Women Identifying voices ardent in battle against subjugation! Now in its third year, Fahmidan Journal is now a paying market!
We publish quarterly and are looking for that thought-provoking existentialism, those phobias, those dark moments. We want our readers to be entranced by the very best writing. We yearn to be moved to tears with truth in a world of suffering. In a world of ever-changing crisis and strife, we long to be a bastion, a beacon in the night, a comfortable home for writers across this marble.
