About Paris Post

Paris Post is a home for the written word — a space where writers, thinkers, and readers meet across borders through essays, reflections, poetry, and quiet provocations.

We publish work that speaks not only to a moment but also across time. From the solitary voice of a poet to the wide reach of a global essay, from biographical fragments to longform meditations, we seek writing that connects personal clarity with cultural resonance.

We believe in the enduring intimacy of the written word — not as news, but as presence.

🌍 Our Mission

We exist to foster a global conversation grounded in literary craft, intellectual curiosity, and human depth.

In an age of fast takes and fleeting scrolls, Paris Post slows down. We are not built for virality. We are built for voice. Whether an essay emerges from the bustle of a city or the stillness of a rural hour, it deserves care, context, and space to breathe.

Our mission is to:

  • Offer a platform where writers can reflect instead of react
  • Elevate work that explores identity, language, memory, belief, place, and form
  • Archive the literature of now without chasing the moment
  • Invite readers into a world of slow intellect and active imagination

What Makes Us Different

Unlike traditional literary journals or opinion pages, Paris Post exists between genres, across geographies, and outside algorithmic noise.

We are not looking for consensus. We are not seeking celebrity.
We are here for the quiet urgency in a well-crafted line.
We welcome contradiction, lyricism, uncertainty, and thought.

We are not the Review, the Times, or the Ledger.
We are the post—the thing you send, the voice you keep, and the line you leave behind.

What We Publish

We welcome original, unpublished submissions in:

A Note on Place

Though Paris inspires our name, we are not about one city or language or nation.
Our contributors live in Lagos and Lisbon, Mumbai and Madrid, and Brooklyn and Beirut.
Our geography is voice. Our map is the page.
