About
The Codex
a collective of independent thought
Note from the editor

The Codex is a collection of writers, creators, professionals and everyday folks with a passion for telling stories and sharing opinions. We cover culture through the lens of current events and individuals with stories to tell. The Codex is a publication that values quality writing in all of its forms — well-researched journalism, moving first-person narratives, thoughtful op-eds, witty listicles, creative storytelling, and more. The Codex encourages writers of all races, genders, countries of origin, sexual orientations, religions, and abilities. We are not beholden to any large media companies or corporations. We are simply a collection of people who love to write and produce. Any monetary support we receive through sponsors or pledges is strictly to pay our contributors for the great work they produce.
