Liminal Lit | Issue I: Between — Open for Submissions | $600 in Prizes | Poetry, Fiction, Nonfiction

Hey everyone! I'm the founder of Liminal Lit, a new literary journal for writers navigating multiple identities.

Our first issue theme is "Between" — we want writing about what it feels like to live between worlds. This could mean being caught between two cultures, writing in a language that isn't your first, feeling like a stranger in your home country, balancing different family expectations, or simply never fully belonging in one place.

What we accept:

  • Poetry (up to 5 poems)
  • Fiction (up to 3,500 words)
  • Creative Nonfiction (800–2,500 words)

Prizes: $300 / $200 / $100 across selected works

Deadline: June 15, 2026

Simultaneous submissions welcome.

We especially welcome voices from diaspora and marginalized communities, but anyone writing about identity, culture, and belonging is encouraged to submit.
