Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
To be rooted is to be centered in one’s self, environment, and community. Rooted Literary Magazine is a literary platform dedicated to showcasing art, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, spoken word, music, and film that captures the full spectrum of human experience—from the beautiful to the devastating, and everything in between. We welcome work from both emerging and established creators who are unafraid to push the boundaries of form and genre. We are especially drawn to speculative fiction and pieces that challenge conventions, expand perspectives, or reimagine reality. Our goal is to platform voices that resonate deeply, disrupt gently, and leave a lasting impact.
