About the magazine

Unbroken is a literary journal founded in 2013 with a commitment to publishing poetry and prose that engages with themes of resilience, survival, and the human condition. The journal emerged from a desire to create a space for writing that confronts adversity without succumbing to sentimentality, favoring work that is both formally astute and emotionally honest. Its core mission is to showcase voices that might otherwise be marginalized, with a particular emphasis on narratives of trauma, recovery, and transformation. Over the years, Unbroken has maintained a biannual publication schedule, featuring a diverse array of established and emerging writers. The journal's ethos is rooted in the belief that literature can serve as a vehicle for both personal and collective healing, and it seeks to foster a community of readers and writers who value candor and craft.

Writers should familiarize themselves with the journal's aesthetic by reading recent issues, available online and in print. Unbroken seeks poetry and prose that is polished, evocative, and unafraid of emotional depth. Submissions should be sent via the journal's online submission manager during reading periods, which are typically announced on the website and social media. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is accepted elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with your contact information and a short bio. Proofread carefully; work that is free of typographical errors and follows the guidelines is more likely to receive serious consideration.
