What began as a space for young writers in South Africa to share poetry, short stories, and creative work is now growing into something new. We will now also be helping writers bring their own books to life.

Paper Trail Literary Journal is expanding into Paper Trail Literary Press. What started as a space for poetry, short stories, and creative expression is now growing into something more. A new chapter begins, and every story leaves behind a Trail.
