Read our debut issue under the ‘ISSUE’ tab

Calling all perilously-peculiar-poets, furtive writers of fiction, and lovers of literature!

The Secret Garden Journal exists to publish the poetry-infused pages of secret journals, and stories that have collected dust in the innermost corners of restless imaginations. The unfiltered narratives of life and literature that are waiting to be digested, mused over and listened to.

This journal is by lovers of writing, for lovers of writing.

Lots of love, and literary well-wishes,

Emmanuelle.

You are cordially invited to The Secret Garden.

Tales of oddities and peculiarities

The quality of being odd; singularity, strangeness or eccentricity.

Tell me about the weird, the strange and the unusual. Tell me about the misunderstood, the uninvited entities that stay for tea, the byronic secrets that wait at your doorstep. Tell me about the peculiarities that isolate you from others. Tell me about the ones that make you feel understood.

Think: Jane Eyre, Edgar Allen Poe, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Your own journal.

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”

- Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
