About the magazine
Red Door is an independent literary and arts magazine founded in 2008 with the aim of providing a platform for emerging and underrepresented voices. Its founding ethos centers on the belief that literature and art should be accessible, inclusive, and reflective of diverse human experiences. The magazine publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art, with each issue often organized around a thematic prompt such as memory, archive, and identity. By maintaining a biannual print and digital presence, Red Door fosters a community of writers and artists who might otherwise be overlooked by mainstream publications.
