Limit Experience Journal (LEJ)

A project of Limit Experience Media

About

Limit Experience Journal enlists discourse as a category of change aimed toward social and personal catharsis. LEJ means to support the edges of culture’s voices by providing a platform of shared experience amidst those located beyond the pale. While mapping the potential for balance through a studied tolerance for thoughtful extremes, Limit Experience Media supports LEJ in aligning informed perspectives with an inclusive ethos. Our diversity of publication modalities from journal to blog to podcasts provides accessibility as essential fodder for the creative engagement of constantly changing viewpoints. Appreciating the developmental nature of intellectual and creative discovery, LEJ provides a portal for emerging and established voices.

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.
