Part of Series
Black Girl Magic Lit Mag is a literary magazine created to address the lack of diverse, non-majority voices and characters in speculative fiction, especially Black women’s voices. Black Girl Magic Lit Mag believes that by showcasing stories featuring Black female voices and characters we can create a reflection of ourselves in the literature that we love, in a world where our images are constantly controlled, shaped, and distorted by those outside of our experiences. This issue features a range of stories spanning Paranormal, Steampunk/Horror, and Zombies, as well as interviews of the authors.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be everything under the sun: a teacher, a pilot, a firefighter, a lawyer, the President, a detective in the Special Victims Unit (thank you Law and Order), and a writer. Always a writer. No matter how everything else on that list might have changed, writer always stuck. Writing helped me find my voice, and sharing that voice with others is both the most terrifying and most exciting thing I have ever done.
