Our Legacy
Nurturing the Youth Literary Voice
Founded as an opportunity for youth expression, Floreo Literary Journal is an effort to bridge the gap between emerging teen writers and the established literary world. We curate works that challenge and inspire.
Through our seasonal digital issues, we hope to foster and encourage a new generation of writers who are looking to create, submit and read work by teens about whatever inspires them.
Submit for the Issue No.1 until November 30th.
EXCITING UPDATE! Thanks to a generous contribution, we are offering $25 bookstore gift cards to the next 25 submissions! Follow our submission rules below to participate and treat yourself to new literature. If you already submitted your piece(s), please check your email account now!
