The Magazine
A Literary Magazine Centering Latinx Voices
Founded in 2021, LatineLit publishes original fiction by and about Latinx people—work that reflects the rhythm, complexity, and lived realities of a community too often ignored in contemporary literature.
A quarterly literary magazine publishing original fiction online.
What LatineLit Is
LatineLit is a fiction-focused literary magazine publishing previously unpublished short stories across a wide range of genres, including literary fiction, speculative fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, horror, and hybrid forms. While many stories center Latinx lives and histories, the magazine also welcomes work that meaningfully engages Latinx experience and aligns with its editorial vision.
We publish exclusively in English, while welcoming the natural use of Spanish or Portuguese within stories. These languages are treated as living parts of the text, not foreign insertions.
The magazine does not publish poetry, nonfiction, memoir, or reprints. For more detailed information about our requirements, visit our Submissions page.
How the Magazine Works
How Content is Organized
LatineLit is built around quarterly issues rather than rolling updates. Each issue is presented as a complete publication with its own table of contents. Individual stories include the full text and a short contributor bio, and once published, they remain permanently accessible in the archive.
Editorial Scope
The magazine publishes previously unpublished short fiction across a wide range of genres and narrative styles. Work is selected based on literary quality, originality, and alignment with the magazine’s editorial vision. LatineLit is fiction-focused and does not publish poetry, nonfiction, memoir, or reprints.
Additional Editorial Features & Reading Experience
Alongside its quarterly issues, LatineLit curates a monthly Latinx Bestseller List and Book Recommendations feature. The magazine is designed to be entered at any point—through the current issue, a past story, or the archive as a whole. New work appears on schedule, and published stories remain accessible over time.
Current Issue
Winter 2026
Winter 2026 gathers a collection of original fiction shaped by questions of endurance, identity, and cultural presence in a moment marked by uncertainty. Across genres and styles, these stories reflect the range, imagination, and literary craft of contemporary Latinx writers—engaging history, memory, belonging, and the pressures of the present with clarity and depth.

Issue Archives
LatineLit’s archive preserves every quarterly issue published since 2022. Each edition remains available in full, with its complete table of contents and contributor listings intact.
Together, these issues form an ongoing literary record—documenting the voices, concerns, and creative work of Latinx writers over time. The archive reflects the continuity of the magazine’s mission and the evolving breadth of contemporary Latinx fiction.
