Our Mission

Papers Publishing is a literary magazine that aims to bring more awareness back to the quality of the content rather than the popularity of the submitter. We publish work from creators of all backgrounds who specialize in poetry, prose, non-fiction, and any other literary medium. We strive to be strictly inclusive, incorporating work from BIPOC authors, as well as LGBTQ+ creators. Currently we are located in Brooklyn, New York but our services span from country to country. We publish writing with clear and thought provoking intentions - that isn't afraid to step inside the beautifully grit world we live in. We hope that the stories we build through our site will encourage other independent writers to continue creating, and that the success of Papers Publishing will bring success to literary development.
