Calling all LGBTQ+ writers, poets, and artists: submissions are officially open for Bleeding Hearts Beat Still, our 2024 Pride collection! Give us your romances both tragic and triumphant, your vengeful ghosts and besotted ghouls. You've got until May 4th 🖤

We’ve had the wonderful pleasure of working with phenomenal writers and creating a safe space for artists from all walks of life, for now, Papers will be taking a hiatus from publishing any work until further notice. We hope to continue working with you in the future. ❤️

Seeing lit mags close after a year of running is triggering. Folks, it ain’t easy to run a lit mag, and the people that do it do it cause they love it. Support, read, buy, and Ko-fi as many lit mags as you can. The appreciation goes a LONG way. Seriously.

Our #featurefridays are running a bit late this week! They’ll be up by Sunday. Forgive us with your whole heart.

First #FollowFriday of spring 🌺

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and look at it, until it shines.” – Emily Dickinson

Send it to the New Yorker. They're going to have to read it eventually if they want to be relevant. The literary world is not an elite club. It's a shit show. There are already writers with dual bylines in the NYer and TBQ. Open the gates. Skip the Paris Review. Choke the Dandy.

We’re looking for Papers Team members! All positions are voluntary, and your position is whatever you want it to be. Visit the link in our bio and fill out the quick Google Form.

Just a reminder today to block Green Golem: The Zionist Literary Magazine and Alex Horn for being genocidal pieces of shit.

We absolutely adore kath richards thank you for bringing us on this ride. We’d go to hell and back with you.

Writers who write every day, how often do you take 'days off'?

I woke up to myself sending my friend a 3 paragraph (no nitro) text on discord about how much I love the Local Natives — my body is telling me I am ripe enough to write.

don't yuck someone's yum 😘

How does writing fit into your daily schedule?
