About

Gemini Magazine is an independent literary journal established in 2009. We are open to creative work from writers and artists around the world, and have no rules. As jazz great Charlie “Bird” Parker put it, “There’s no boundary line to art.”

We don’t want to set any boundaries so we use a simple selection process: if it strikes a chord with us we publish it.

Want more insight into the editors' preferences? Read our interview with the editor(s).

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
