Vision
Our aspirations stem from our desire to revel in truths; to discover selcouth worlds ; to live the full life of the mind and feel intoxicated by new ideas.
Mission
We seek to explore through the looking glass of literature, our most raw truths and haunting questions. In embracing all our ideals, all our love, and all our despair, we surrender to the tides of introspection.
Belief
We believe in the potency of literary expression: that words are not only a medium for the deliverance of ideas, but keys to the relief of the human soul and therefore, their free use is a basic human right.

A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on the 24th of October, 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled Women and Fiction, and hence the essay, are considered nonfiction.
