About the magazine

Enchanted Living is a digital publication and creative community dedicated to the celebration of enchantment, myth, and wonder in contemporary life. Founded as a response to the disenchanted rationalism of the modern age, it operates at the intersection of fantasy literature, folklore, and visual art, providing a platform for writers and artists who explore the numinous and the magical. Its core mission is to foster a sense of awe through curated essays, fiction, poetry, and artwork that engage with mythopoeic traditions and the natural world. The publication has become a gathering place for those who believe that enchantment is not an escape from reality but a way of perceiving its deeper layers.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Artists and writers should first familiarize themselves with the publication's tone, which balances literary quality with a genuine sense of wonder. Submissions should align with the theme of enchantment, whether through retellings of myth, explorations of folklore, or original fantasy. Avoid ironic or deconstructive approaches; the editors seek work that embraces its subject with sincerity. For the 'Return to Middle-Earth' call, submissions should engage directly with Tolkien's legendarium, but with fresh perspectives rather than pastiche. Include a brief cover letter explaining how your work fits the theme. Response times may vary, so patience is advised.
