About Cactus Fruit Journal.

More than just a publishing house and registered business in Ontario, I launched Cactus Fruit Journal to publish my own writing and, most importantly, to create a space for underserved writers to share their writing with the world, globally. I would love for you to be part of this journey. When you purchase our work and support, you are not just buying a book; you are investing in a movement dedicated to empowering your spirit and amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. My highest dream is to inspire and empower those who want to share their stories with the world, and who are otherwise facing different obstacles. I know and believe that if you can dream it, you can create it.
