Additional info
Everyone is welcome to submit. To Raw Lit, the only thing that matters is your art. While we aren’t able to offer feedback on all submissions, we'll pick one story or poem per issue and offer full feedback. We also try our best to provide individualised responses. As of 2024, we publish one erasure poetry based on our rejection email per issue. To participate, post your erasure & tag us on Twitter/X, Facebook, or Instagram.
