Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Navy Pen Literary Magazine is a biannual publication dedicated to publishing poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art of exceptional quality, organized around a single open-ended theme each issue. Founded in 2025, Navy Pen approaches each issue as a curated literary object with its own atmosphere and identity, selecting work not only for individual merit but for the ways pieces speak to, complicate, and illuminate one another. We are drawn to writing and art that is emotionally sharp, formally distinctive, and willing to take risks. Our editorial focus is on the weight of language, the integrity of form, and the strength of an individual artistic voice. We welcome work from writers and artists at all stages of their careers and seek pieces that feel deliberate, original, and unmistakably their own.
