I Just Love Them! - Best Lit Mags of 2025

We are curly haired swamp creatures howling into the moonlight, doggy paddling and barking at toads and flies. We want your weird, muddy, and messy - the turtles without shells, boiled frogs, & mushroom-capped fairies.

Our goal as a literary magazine is to feature and share literature that defies norms, challenges conventions, and embraces the unsettlingly beautiful and oddly innovative. We are a platform for emerging writers and artists to share their unique perspectives and voices, with a commitment to embracing and supporting diverse voices. Our core values guide everything we do, shaping our vision and ensuring that we provide a literary haven that nurtures creativity, fosters community, and amplifies marginalized voices.

 Paw Paths, explores the many journeys we take - through forests and deserts, memory and grief, ancestry and imagination. This theme invites creators to wander along the tracks left by creatures, loved ones, and selves we used to be, while also striking out to forge new trails of their own. Whether moving forward, turning back, or circling through familiar terrain, every footprint becomes a story: of where we’ve been, what we carry, and what we choose to leave behind.
