NPJ is an international literary e-journal initially imagined from the publisher’s global treks & voyages.
Vision & Mission:
Our vision is towards developing an accessible international literary e-journal touching upon diverse topics, philosophies and ideas with edgy and eclectic approaches – an evolving architecture of the human voice. Our mission includes creating a group of volunteer contributors in their own fields of interest and expertise at global locations from various backgrounds and orientations with a shared interest in collaborating and inspiring each other.
