Founded by writer Suleika Jaouad, the Isolation Journals is an artist-led community and publishing platform that cultivates creativity and fosters connection in challenging times. 

Each week we send out a journaling prompt from some of the world’s most renowned writers, celebrated artists, inspiring community leaders and unsung heroes. The Isolation Journals began during the coronavirus pandemic, and from our community of 100,000 participants, we have built a living archive of human creativity to document an unforgettable era. We believe in the power of creative expression to edify, heal, and unite.

It’s free and all are welcome.
