A BIPOC-focused literary journal / 501(c)(3) literary arts organization built by women of color. In our founding year of 2020, we denounce the overwhelming homogeneity of the literary landscape as well as Eurocentric traditions of writing

Our pillars are access, advocacy, and intersectionality. We encourage mentorship with and for emergent writers of color.  Honey Literary is a space for BIPOC (Black/Indigenous/People of Color and any combination therein). We publish BIPOC women, non-binary and trans people,  disabled writers, and anyone of color from the LGBTQIAP2+ community. We crave the work of agitators, righteous disruptors, weirdos, and wild ones. We accept submissions in the following categories:
