About the Magazine

Founded in 2020 | United States

At Isele Magazine we believe that literature and the arts are an integral part of the daily conversations that uplift and/or shape our thinking. We publish writers and artists who hold a mirror to our society, who challenge conventional expectations about ways of being, how to be, and who decides who should be. We seek fresh and dynamic voices. We want to bring our readers the best of new fiction, poetry, essays, interviews, and book reviews. As part of our commitment to fostering a vibrant community, we will publish a bi-monthly web magazine, a quarterly series, and a seasonal blog that will bring our readers the best of the topical conversations within and outside of our literary spheres.
