issue zero: draft journal

draft: the journal of process is a new educational literary journal which features stories, drafts, and interviews about the writing process. draft's mission is to emphasize the importance and diversity of the creative process, especially for new writers and students in writing classrooms.

"In draft, we’re interested in mechanics, techniques, approaches, triumphs, failures, concussive frustration--everything that goes into crafting a publishable piece of creative writing through revision. We ask authors to reveal their tricks behind the illusions. To tell us how it’s done, or try to."

issue zero - "the draft preview" - is now available, and 2 drafts are online as excerpts: “Saggitarius” by Greg Hrbek and “Once Upon a Time, Bananas” by Mary Miller
