* Organization: Liminal Lit * Deadline: June 15th, 2026 * Entry fee: Free to submit * Prize/s: $300 USD for 1st place, $200 USD for 2nd place, $100 USD for 3rd place * Link to submission page/official rules: liminallit.org * Other information: Liminal Lit is a new literary journal centered around emotionally resonant and cross-cultural writing. Our inaugural issue theme is “Between,” and we are looking for poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction that explores the spaces between identities, cultures, languages, relationships, memories, or different versions of yourself. The theme is intentionally open-ended, and we welcome both emerging and previously published writers. In addition to the three winners, we will also select finalists, and all selected works will be published in Issue I. We are also a paying venue and offer a free editorial initiative that provides structural feedback and mentorship for writers.
