About Literally Literary is a home for writers finding their voice and readers looking for something real. We publish fiction, poetry, and essays that don't need a name behind them to matter — just honest, well-made work, shared quarterly in print and monthly online.Launched in 2013 by Jess Aayla Kaisk, Literally Literary began as a pushback against the elitist attitude that has historically — and still today — haunted literature. From poetry slams to writing parties, Jess knew there had to be a space that was less pretentious and more real, for writers and readers alike.
