Lunar Sea Literary

About

Welcome to Lunar Sea Lit. This is a new literary journal for dreamers, optimists, humanitarians, and the weird, wild and wonderful.
We seek to represent voices from the entire scope of life and beyond. Whether you’re writing about undescribed squid at Challenger deep, or the gunpowder scent found in the seas of Luna, we want it all. Innovative, experiemental, unusual, and well-researched writing will always have a home here. We hope the weird and the fantastical flock to us like moths to a flame, or like us to breathtaking writing and art.

Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
Be professional, patient, and persistent.
