Light and Shadow

WE PUBLISH PERSONAL ESSAYS, SHORT STORIES, POEMS, ART, AND  PHOTOGRAPHY.

BECOME A PART OF A LITERARY MOVEMENT

We are an independent literary magazine dedicated to publishing narrative writing that resonates with depth, heart, and authenticity. We seek personal essays, memoir excerpts, poetry, and narrative nonfiction that capture the complexity of human experiences. Whether it’s stories that provoke thought, inspire empathy, or reveal unspoken truths, we value pieces that are honest, reflective, and beautifully crafted. Our goal is to amplify voices that connect deeply with readers, creating a space for meaningful storytelling and transformative ideas.

Nonfiction

We are looking for evocative writing that dives into the depths of the human experience—where the darkest shadows and brightest lights draw readers in, immersing them fully, as if they are living, breathing, and experiencing the moment themselves.
