Vitality Magazine A project of Jaylee James Publications (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Vitality is a literary magazine publishing exciting, entertaining fiction featuring queer protagonists. What we hear people asking for, most often, is more stories featuring queer people – and not just serious, often depressing “issue” work dealing with the hard stresses of real life, but fun stories that happen to be about queer characters, and portray queerness in a positive way. In answer to this need, Vitality seeks to be an escape for the reader. A safe place full of wonder and awesome where the reader can see characters like themselves doing things like battling dragons, solving crimes, acting in a circus, or travelling the world. All genres and styles can be found in Vitality. The only limit is your imagination.
