1. Most people that submit to literary journals are cis white men. We know this because our journal has an anonymous survey about demographics for people that submit.

2. Most things that get submitted to the creative non fiction section are on the level of middle school “What I did over the summer” essays.

There is so much work from marginalized narratives in litmags these days — people lament there is no representation in media, but that disregards the progress and diversity of the works of editors and writers who help make these litmags possible. 

There is representation, and it is flourishing. They are waiting to be read. 

The Lumiere Review compiles a list of submission opportunities every month, and it are always very useful:

(And even if some litmags’ mission statement isn’t specifically for marginalized creators, they will always welcome these narratives.)

Three three three three three. Three three three, three three three three three; three three, three three three. “Three three three,” three three. Three three three three three, three three? Three three three – three three three three three…

Great job, everyone!!! Justice for Judith!!!

And just like every time Judith has ever put her foot forward, it ends in mayhem and catastrophe. She will not immediately advance, because the failwoman poll has been suspended until further notice.

my thoughts exactly!! like i literally don’t care about all the iconic kanej scenes or that kaz vs pekka confrontation because they were randomly thrown into the story with no sensible prior development
