The Writers’ Journal is a new platform established by Barbara Schilling Hurwitz in 2024. Her team is reaching out from NYC and the DC Metropolitan area, seeking emergent and established writers from across the globe dedicated to celebrating the art of storytelling.
Through stories, writers illuminate transformative moments and pivotal decisions that enrich readers’ lives. Whether navigating the complexities of love, exploring the depths of loss, or embracing the joys of new beginnings, The Writers’ Journal wants to inspire curiosity, provoke introspection, and foster connections between cultures.
So, whether you’re a seasoned writer or a newcomer to the world of storytelling, we welcome your submission for review, and we will try our best to notify you within 30 days of your submission of its acceptance for publication.
Barbara is the author of the memoir Lucky Girl and the YA novel Pandu. In addition, her short stories and poems have been published in numerous literary journals and anthologies.
Lucky Girl — Growing up with Courage, Curiosity, and Gratitude — A collection of life-changing events told through short stories. A car fire first date, motel escape, family vacation without clothes, and much more, all with the comic reminder of a mother-in-law’s words, “She’s such a lucky girl!”
