About the magazine

The Brink Literacy Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering literary engagement and supporting emerging voices in contemporary writing. Founded on the belief that literacy is a dynamic, culturally embedded practice, Brink operates at the intersection of education, publishing, and community dialogue. Its programs—including publishing internships, workshops, and public readings—aim to bridge the gap between literary production and diverse readerships, emphasizing access and experimentation over gatekeeping. Rather than a traditional press or MFA program, Brink functions as a literary ecosystem: a space where writers, editors, and readers collaborate on projects that challenge conventional boundaries of form and audience. The organization’s ethos is rooted in process, mentorship, and the conviction that literary culture thrives when it is inclusive, critically engaged, and materially supported.

Submitting your work

Artists and writers approaching Brink should prioritize alignment with its mission of literacy as a communal, critical practice. Proposals for internships or projects should articulate a clear pedagogical or community-engagement component, not merely a personal creative goal. Brink favors applicants who demonstrate awareness of systemic inequities in publishing and a willingness to work collaboratively. While formal experimentation is welcome, it must be grounded in accessibility and dialogue. Reach out via the website with a concise statement of intent and relevant work samples; avoid generic cover letters.
