I’m thrilled to share that my latest guest post, “18 No Fee Lit Mags Elevating Disabled Voices,” is now live on the University of Arizona Poetry Center’s blog. This piece highlights a vibrant and growing landscape of literary magazines dedicated to uplifting disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers—communities whose creative contributions deserve far more visibility and celebration.

The list explores a wide range of no-fee literary magazines, many of which are actively seeking work from disabled poets, writers, and artists.

“The literary landscape for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers is more vibrant than ever. Today’s journals and magazines are dedicated to amplifying voices that have long been underrepresented, offering a wealth of opportunities for writers and artists to share their stories, poetry, and art.”

From long-standing journals to emerging digital spaces, each listing in the article reflects a commitment to community-building and creative empowerment. Whether you’re a writer seeking new submission opportunities or a reader eager to discover fresh perspectives, this curated guide offers a rich starting point.

I’m deeply grateful to the University of Arizona Poetry Center for inviting me to contribute and for their ongoing dedication to fostering diverse literary voices. Their support helps ensure that disabled writers and artists continue to find welcoming spaces to share their work.
