Literature From The Street, For The People.

We are looking for Edge. Words about The Struggle. Words about The Gutters. Everyday people. Everyday things. Working 9-5, 9-7, or 24/7. Raising kids in this. Holding relationships together. The balance. The dizzying. The emotions that spill out and the ones we keep buried. Your childhood tales. Your family’s woes. And the things that somehow salvage us anyway. It'’s all worth it — because of where we came from.

All submissions are considered for both online and print publication.

If your work gets accepted, you’ll be featured alongside custom pixel art from our in-house artist.

We want your literature on faith, belief, doubt, and the things we worship.

What makes you tick? What do you pray to when no one’s watching — God, Allah, money, Elon, Nike, or the scroll?

We’ve lost faith in the old gods but still need something to believe in.

Where do you find your moments of grace? Where do you feel rooted?

Raw, honest, unflinching work that explores spirituality in the streets, the trap, the crisis, and the quiet.

We are reading fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and longer manuscripts for this issue.
