Literary Liberation is open to submissions! I do not want to overcomplicate the process, so with that in mind and depending on the initial response, submissions will close November 1, 2024.
I’m interested in reading:
essays on craft
essays on building your writer’s toolkit
essays on the writing life
interview (single or series) on where you write
detailed writing exercises
roundups of writing opportunities
deep dives into a book or an author’s body of work with a liberatory, global majority centered, activists lens

LIT LIB DAILY
If you’d like to join our team of voluntary writers, you’re more than welcome to pitch column ideas. It can be on anything that centers writing, wellness, activism, or general creativity. I’m open to just about anything. We are looking to add a bunch of new columns to our roster this fall, so send over your suggestions this weekend!
Your column can be 3 months (12 posts), 6 months (24 posts) or indefinitely and can be spaced at intervals that work best for you. We prioritize writers within the community, but everyone is welcome to pitch.
