About Us
A summary of the vision, mission and people who offer their insights and expertise.
Art Expressions
The Abstract. Frank’s paintings are on display in business, professional offices, non-profits and private homes.
Flash Fiction
NPJ perspective – a brief or very short story based on an actual event, or a dream, an idea (real or surreal), a thought or vision and allows for the possibility of an unforeseen twist of events or occurrence. The implication is there’s a much larger story.
Guest Column
Guest columnists: NPJ as an International Literary Magazine currently has followers from 179 countries. We explore experiences, thoughts, issues, philosophies, and trends on a variety of topics. The columns may include links to online sites, and offer updates to writings, publications, and social media presentations. The length of an article is relative to the subject matter and the audience. We also welcome videos, film, You Tube, podcasts, photographs, art works, cartoon drawings and other formats. The limit of any work is one’s imagination.
Inquiry
Philosophical approaches and offerings to varied artistic, cultural, literary, political, religious, scientific and social matters and based on actual events, subject matter and people. Written by contributors.
Interview
Insights and thought-provoking observations of varying lengths, brief to extensive, in areas that are engagingly diverse and in a few cases paradigmatic. Interviews conducted by contributors.
Jazz & Blues Edge
A review of recordings – classic, straight up, smooth, musically if not historically significant. Perspectives on various artists.
Journal Dispatches
Journal communications – domestic and foreign jottings/notes/insights to readers/subscribers that strive to be informative if not contemplative.
Musings
A philosophical voyage – from the absurd, amusing, chimerical, dramatic, droll, erotic, existential, offbeat, provocative, romantic, satirical and whimsical. Musings are written by LJ Frank unless otherwise noted.
Novella
A slice of fictional prose – thought provoking, curious, experimental and while exploring the edges. No hard rule as to nature and length…the latter being somewhere between a Short Story and a Novel. Stylistically indeterminate.
