Afterbodies
an international 501(c)(3) literary magazine
Afterbodies publishes biannual issues of high school and undergraduate poetry and prose. At Afterbodies,
we champion voices which do not shy away from the depths, stories that dare to resurface the unseen.
Guiding Currents
Accessibility
Our magazine will always be completely free to submit and read, ensuring that circumstance will never blockade a vital voice.
Innovation
We do not separate issues by genre or theme, believing that writing should speak for itself without the need to be categorized.
Inclusion
|
We champion work which resists the riptide of systemic exclusion, reclaiming the diverse identities and histories of our many homelands.
Our Summer 2026 inaugural reading period has now begun — submit your work here!
