Persimmon Review is a literary magazine established in 2023 that strives to showcase the talent of unpublished young authors and artists from diverse backgrounds. Like the various species of persimmon, the magazine aims to explore a range of genres and styles. I also look for refreshing and blooming voices that are beginning their journey as artists. The purpose of this magazine is to nourish and inspire the creativity of aspiring artists. I believe that art and literature, like food, can bring people together.
