Nimrod International Journal

Nimrod International Journal’s mission is the discovery and support of new writing of vigor and quality from this country and abroad. The journal seeks new, unheralded writers; writers from other lands who become accessible to the English speaking world through translation and established authors who have vigorous new work to present that has not found a home within the establishment. For over 50 years and particularly since the birth of the Nimrod Literary Awards, Nimrod International Journal and its outreach programs have connected writers and readers worldwide.
