    Mouthful of Salt latest issue

    A lit mag for the jagged, the sacred, the silenced. We seek to uplift marginalized voices. Send us the bold, the nontraditional, the boundary-defying. We're especially interested in poems, short stories, and essays that explore intimacy, identity, mental health, desire, and the in-between spaces.

    About

    A newly founded literary journal carving space for the raw, the intimate, and the genre-defiant. We’re currently deep in the making of our inaugural Issue One, set to publish in August 2025. This debut collection will showcase the voices we carry and the stories we can’t spit out.
