Sea Breeze Journal of Contemporary Liberian Writings is on a publication hiatus. We are very thankful for your interest and hope to be back publishing in 2013.

Why, you ask, are we taking such a long break? We are in the process of seeking ways to update our technology and presentation, and manage our archives. We need and ask for the support of our loyal readers in this endeavor.

SBJ is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. All donations to the journal are tax deductible in the USA. The editors work on a voluntary basis (work that is much more challenging than it may it appear), and carry all the expenses of the journal.

To support us with a donation so that we continue our mission, please click the donate button to donate via the web through pay pal. You can also contact us directly by email for more details or to donate by check.


And please support our work for justice and human rights in Liberia:





Thank you in advance for your support.


Sea Breeze Journal of Contemporary Liberian Writings (SBJ) is a peer-review 501 (c) (3) literary arts ejournal devoted to publishing art, creative non-fiction, short fiction narratives, cultural stories, poetry, interviews, book reviews, criticism, theory, and social and political commentary by Liberians arising out of Liberian life wherever we are. The journal was named to honor and remember the almost forgotten Sea Breeze Folk Songs of Liberia. SBJ was founded in 2004, published quarterly through 2006, and became a biannual publication in 2007. The journal is published in May and November. We welcome submissions from guest writers and visual artists. The journal aims to provide a forum for and stimulate an appreciation for contemporary Liberian arts and letters; the Liberian personality; indigenous Liberian languages; Liberian English; social justice; progressive politics; gender equality; African identities; African Diasporan identities; environmental sustainability; and ethnic, class and cultural diversity. The journal maintains a commitment to publishing writings and art of social, literary and cultural integrity in language and thought: committed to the idea of inspired renewal, even as the sea herself seeks continual, creative regeneration.
