We are #3 on Chill Subs' Best Lit Mags of 2023 and are in Chill Subs' 15 Lit Mags with Gorgeous Websites

"Out of the 1500 nominations of over 600 literary magazines we received for Best Lit Mag of 2023, we’ve narrowed it down to the Top 25 based on how many times they were nominated."

here's what people said they loved about us!

"Eclectic, international, multigenre, spectacular production team, wide and thrilling collections of material accompanied by valuable weekly features!"

"Ankit and Tejaswinee are ambitious and seem to be pulling it off, even though they both have other work they must do. It's high quality, they interact with their creative contributors, and they publish a wide variety of good work. And they are writers themselves, and understand the problems getting published. They can't pay (yet) but have no fees, and the results are excellent."

"So many - lightning-fast response times, grounded, kind, and dedicated editors, great breadth of work, especially from the Asian community, seamless comms, true to the values of diversity, community, transparency, and equity. With their keenness on creating a space of acceptance and creative expressions for all artists and works (even those that are "not fully cooked but shows potential") makes every THR issue feel like a book or an anthology, rather than an issue. They're probably the only magazine that does that."

"Absolutely wonderful, supportive, kind editors. Fast responses. Clear and open communication. Respectful editorial process. Based in India, global reach and perspective."

"A very young literary outing with editors who are so passionate, energetic, they don’t sleep I think, exceptionally well produced and curated for someone who is only on their 2nd edition, they are world class."

"With 100+ recommendations it was hard to narrow it down to just 15 and of course taste is so subjective, but these mags REALLY blew us away."
