APROSEXIA LIT

About

APROSEXIA LIT is an online poetry journal dedicated to writing that demonstrates arresting creativity by the neurodivergent and cognitively diverse, as well as those who experience non-visible disabilities and cognitive barriers between themselves and the wider world. The journal's overarching goal is to impress its readership with first-rate work, that emphasizes the unique nature of our life experience, and how it genuinely differs from what's assumed to be "the norm." We want to showcase the best our community has to offer, without assuming that neurodivergent art and forms of expression need to be accessible to a neurotypical or more generally abled audience, before we look to speak to and inspire one another.

This means that APROSEXIA is inherently biased, but has no desire to be exclusionary. While a number of publications invite marginalized voices to stand near the "front-of-the-line," and feel free to self-identify when submitting work, APROSEXIA's mission is to stay focused on publishing those voices who are marginalized under the broad umbrella of "mental health." We ask that those who submit to the journal respect that mission.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to members of the Neurodivergent, Mental Health, and Disability communities.
