Founded in 2008 by Emily Schultz and Brian J Davis, Joyland is based on the idea that fiction is an international movement supported by local communities. Our editors work with authors globally to highlight the most exciting voices in literary fiction and creative nonfiction.

Several of our stories have been included as Notables in Best American Short Stories and published in the Journey Prize Anthology. We’ve been the first publisher of some of today’s most compelling emerging writers, and have published work from acclaimed writers, including Roxane Gay, Leopoldine Core, Zinzi Clemmons, Lydia Millet, Amelia Gray, Marina Endicott, Ottessa Moshfegh, Lynne Tillman, Peter Orner, Chris Kraus, Emily St. John Mandel, Mona Awad, Rachel Khong, and Sarah Gerard.

Above all, it is our mission to be a place where writers can tell the stories that matter to them most.
