Welcome to Penned in Rage

I am Dr. Jive Lubbungu, and I am honoured to step in as the new Editor-in-Chief of Penned in Rage Journal. This journal has always been a home for voices that don't whisper. It's where we write through anger, grief, love, and hope—and turn all of it into something that moves people. That's not changing.

To our writers: Thank you for trusting us with your truth, even the messy parts.

To our readers: Thank you for showing up and feeling it with us.

You can expect new work that's raw, sharp, and unafraid. Essays that cut through, poetry that lingers, and stories that refuse to look away.

We are here to rage, to heal, and to be heard.

Let's pen it all.
