dogyard is an online literary magazine that prioritizes you and your wild side. Inspired by thouse ruff writers that came before us, we look for accessible, quick reads that everyone can sink their canines into. The dogyard is a grassroot magazine made by friends to be full of love and looking to meet you wherever you are. In this anti-intellectual age, these dogs are biting back. Over here, we're all just mutts in a pound waiting to be read by you. dogyard wants to be a home for you and your work!
dogyard is scrappy and spirited, dedicated to sniffing out bold and original work: pieces that dig deep, chase truth, and aren’t afraid to roll around in the mess of being human. If it’s got bite—we’re listening. Want to find a new literary love? You're barking up the right tree, then.
Welcome to the dogyard.
