Fault Lines Literary Magazine

We’re a virtual zine by and for young creatives aimed at amplifying the voices of the historically excluded. We operate under the core idea that being a little broken—having a few fault lines— is precisely what makes us real and beautiful. If you're BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent, disabled, or otherwise marginalized, submit to us!

Juven Press

Poetry, Prose, Short Story, Essay, Journalism, Fiction, Nonf𝔦ction, Graphic Nᴏvel, Novel, Playwrighting

Juven is The Young Writers Initiative's complimentary publishing press. We publish magazines and anthologies, but in the future, we plan on publishing chapbooks, novels, collections, and more. We love everything that shines light on something we've never noticed, gives a voice to those who've yet to be heard, and dare to question why we think the way we do. We want work that attempts to change who we are, and love work that does. We also host The Young Writers Initiative's blog.

The Natural Journal

Poetry, Prose, Short Story, Essay, Fiction, Nonf𝔦ction, Journalism

Founded in 2020, The Natural Journal is a magazine dedicated to appreciating nature through the creative and artistic means of youth. Nature is loved not only when we go outside; it is loved when we read it in writing and see it in art. As ecological writers and artists, we noticed the limited opportunities for youth to portray their love for Earth through writing and art, such as in literary and arts magazines, which is why we founded The Natural Journal. In our triannual publications, youth Earth lovers come together to celebrate our gem. Our team is so excited to begin this journey, and we hope you are too.
