Who we are *
Forget Me Not Society is a hub for new and emerging writers, poets, and playwrights from the Philadelphia area and beyond. We intend to explore identity, community, and radical opinion pieces. We prize authenticity, emotional reality, and intentionality with our words. Though we aim to prioritize writers from the Philadelphia area, we are open to submissions worldwide from those who connect with or align with our mission.
New and original works are uploaded every first and third Wednesday of the month; submissions are taken on a rolling basis.
Send in your favorite poems to have them featured in Poems That Inspire Us, a weekly upload of our community’s favorite poets/poems!
Artistic director, editor, contributor, & founder: Jordan Neff
About our founder
Jordan (she/they) is a queer actor, writer, and overall curious mind based in Philadelphia. After graduating from the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts in 2021, Jordan chose to stay in Philly to hone her work at the late and great University of the Arts (RIP). After UArts’ sudden implosion, Jordan finished pursuing her degree at Arcadia University and has since been running around Philly doing anything and everything creative that she could get her hands on. In 2024, Jordan started her Substack page, Forget Me Not Society, and in 2026, after careful consideration, decided she wanted to expand her Substack into a fully-fledged literary magazine based around up-and-coming Philly writers and creatives. Along with running the site and managing submissions, Jordan continues to post her own work weekly on her Substack and intermittently right on this here website!
The name, “Forget Me Not Society”, was inspired both by the plant and Sappho’s famous quote, “Someone will remember, I say, even in another time.” Forget us not, the young and hungry ones rising from the ashes of a disconnected world. Remember us, we are here, we were here.
In the meantime, welcome to Forget Me Not Society!
