About Us

Little Free Lit Mag is a quarterly journal founded with the aim of publishing quality short form writing. Like “little” pockets of kindness which exist solely to help one another, we think small works can have a big impact. Each issue is published online and as a PDF, each available for free. Bring each issue to community book boxes, pop up libraries, hospital waiting rooms — wherever you think someone could find comfort and inspiration in our pages.

Our mission is to celebrate our wonderfully diverse world of writers and readers by reaching them wherever they are. We hope that this free access publication will encourage readers to find a greater sense of connection to other readers and writers, along with inspiration and enjoyment in these pages.  We aspire to meet the same altruistic goals as seed shares, community gardens, and other community mutual aid efforts. – expanding access to and appreciation for these short forms of literature, building community, and encouraging the discovery of kinship through the written word.

We hope to delight readers who already are aware of lit journals, and to inspire new readers and writers to discover and join the literary community, especially those outside of academia.
