Welcome to Neuro Logical

A foster home for writing

Welcome! This is Neuro Logical, an online Irish literary magazine. However, we also publish work from all around the world. We have one goal: to publish the work that doesn't fit in anywhere else. Consider us a sort of orphanage for your work, or a private academy if you like! If you have work that you feel just can't go to any themed magazines then send it here, we'd love to have you!
