Musepaper, Volume 1, will be available in print in October 2019. The collection is brilliant, funny, and deep, each work a beautiful little masterpiece.
When established literary journals and awards bring together like-minded and passionate writers an undeniable synergy is created. We’ve seen this as hosts of NMW’s biannual writing awards for a quarter century. The recent successes of Sunshot Press perfectly illustrate this synergy, too.
A vibrant and healthy literary scene matters. New and emerging writers matter. Non-rational forces, beauty, grief, mystery, love, all matter. This is why we press on.
Musepaper Subscribers are the poets and writers leading the way by following their Muse. That’s our intention, as Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, too. This is an adventure to be a part of. You’re invited to join us and we hope to read you soon.

New Millennium Writings has inspired and energized and supported my writing for years. I have felt personally connected, respected, and encouraged by both Don and Alexis. These editors care! Gratitude!
I want to support and connect with honest, brave and energetic writers. We have never needed these writers more.
I want to be a part of a writing community that provides engaging opportunities to writers like me that are trying to figure it all out.
The mission spoke to me, right now in this period of my writing - releasing my writing into the world is so important, and hard.
I am an introvert, so getting out in the world and becoming part of a creative community is important Musepaper is creative, innovative, and caters to the writers.
