joINT. Literary Magazine's purpose is to create a space in which to re-interpret what it means to be of African descent when one does not “fit” into the illusory monolith of Black political identity. As such, joINT seeks work from writers and visual artists across the African diaspora, who exist within the margins of gender, sex, religious, cis, able-bodied, and class privilege, to name a few.

We are currently accepting submissions for our second issue themed "Capitalist Realities and their Consequences." We are looking for work that responds to the question, "How do capitalist conceptions of time expand or limit how we perceive reality and negotiate our identities as persons within the African diaspora?" Consider capitalist notions about time and space, the commodification of body and/or intellectual resources, etc. Please familiarize yourself with our journal's vision and purpose before submitting to ensure that we are the best fit for your work.

General, unthemed submissions are also open. If you are sending work outside of our next issue's theme, please make a note of this in your cover letter. 

Many thanks for your support.
