The Muleskinner Journal
Long journeys. Hard roads. Good times.
Yeah. Write!
The journey is long, and the road is hard, but that’s why we love it.
Whoever you are, whatever you want to read, or send, whatever you are waiting for, we drive straight and true.
We publish stories and poems that keep things moving. We deliver the goods.
Right Here. Online. For Free.

Journal Twelve: Twist of Fate
A twist of fate, simple or complicated, or a fork in the road.
Or a sinkhole in the road.
For Journal 12, Muleskinner Journal features work ignited by that storm we didn’t see coming, that small gesture that lifts the veil, the sudden change of course, the latent gene, the hidden fear released, the rabid dog unleashed, the accidental journey, the snap decision, the impulsive act, or the unexpected guest.
