About Daymark
A quiet place to read and think
Daymark is an open, unhurried journal for longform writing. We give each piece the room and typographic care it deserves.
Our approach
Writing without a predetermined niche
Daymark does not assign itself a narrow subject. Articles arrive on whatever deserves careful attention, and each one is set in readable type with generous margins so the ideas can unfold at their own pace.
We are an independent publication. We keep the framing plain and avoid sensational headlines, so the writing itself does the work and readers can follow a thought all the way through.
Our principles
Three standards we keep
Every publication decision follows a few simple commitments.
Clarity
Plain, readable writing
Sentences are kept direct and well spaced, so the argument is easy to follow from start to finish.
Patience
Room to develop an idea
Longer pieces are given the length they need. We would rather a reader stay with one article than skim many.
Visual quiet
Nothing that competes with the page
Neutral colour, plain layouts, and soft imagery keep attention on the words and nothing else.
