Tint Journal is the leading online literary journal for those who write prose and poetry in English as their second or non-native language.

By choosing English as their creative tool, these writers provide an extensive audience with a window into their values, ideas, and beliefs. Coming from a wide variety of backgrounds, they bridge borders and blend cultures, offering the purest and deepest understanding of their fiction and nonfiction worlds.

Over the years, Tint has become a multifaceted platform for emerging
and established ESL writers, and it encourages them to embrace their
non-native English backgrounds. Their unique linguistic landscapes shape
their creative voices and influence their readers’ experiences. This quality
has been ignored— even shamed— for too long.

Through the innovative, tinted lenses of ESL writers, Tint shines a light on the ways that authors all over the globe can contribute to what we know as literature in English
