Helia Lit

About

“Let your voice shape your destiny.”
WTF does that mean? We want to hear your unfiltered voice, whether it’s through a pen, a brush, or a lens.
At Helia Lit, stories aren’t just mindless entertainment to be discarded the moment you’re finished with them. We believe stories of all mediums have something profound (and disruptive) to say.
As an artist, photographer, or writer, your voice pierces through the toughest social constructs and generational cycles built on illusions. Why? Because your voice illuminates the truth. It changes the way people think and feel. Your voice shapes the world you live in, the impact you have, and the legacy you’re actively creating.
So let your voice be your muse.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
