Women have more to say than we are saying. Muriel is where it gets said, and witnessed.

Muriel is a literary magazine of poetry, prose, photography and art by women, for women.

Issue Two: Selkies, Sirens, Shipwrecks and Sailors

Selkies who found their skins. Sirens who were never the danger. The wreck you survived and what washed up after. The sailors, too. Write from your depth.

For company while you write, Sharon Blackie's If Women Rose Rooted.

Our Story

It started with the ocean. I went to the sea during my divorce to feel the upwelling of everything I'd stuffed below the surface for years — to cry into the vastness and release what I didn't think anyone could understand. What I found there was not an answer but an opening: enough of one to know what I actually wanted, and to be able to ask for it.

Muriel is a place for that. For crying out, for aching, for desiring, for grieving. For what we can only tell the ocean.

Issue One gathers 21 women writing and making from Vermont, Cornwall, Cyprus, Toronto, Philadelphia, Queensland and beyond. It is edited, designed, and mailed by one person, funded by the people who read it.
