Tea-Stained Literary (TSL) is an indie, youth-run art and literature magazine, based in the United Kingdom. We are dedicated to providing a home for "the musings scrawled onto parchment in dark hours, and the art made with the essence of the soul". Our current aim is to publish tri-annual issues, showcasing the works of talented writers, poets and artists, aged 14-22 years, from across the world. In addition to this, we also have a blog called Tea-Leaves, on Blogspot which publishes monthly posts with no theme, showcasing more young talent. TSL is active on Instagram, Threads, Discord, Spotify, Substack and Blogspot, so come and find us to become a member of this incredible community!
