Our Goals

The publishing world can be intimidating and exclusive. Cosmic Double was founded to find the best writing from folks who might otherwise not be seen in the traditional publishing industry. We are working to break down the barrier to publishing by seeking works from folks who have difficulty accessing the publishing world or are underrepresented by other publishers.

Our literary journal is a haven for writers. We will always strive to make Cosmic Double a safe space for writers by refusing to publish any pieces that actively strive to harm others.
