Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Our Mission:
At The Lemonwood Quarterly we strive to offer readers exquisite, well-crafted, stories and plays that illuminate underexplored regions of the human condition. In particular, we seek to highlight fresh and authentic portrayals of individuals that, as a group, hold up half the sky, and yet in popular culture have often been marginalized into one-dimensional stereotypes.
Editorial Focus:
We especially seek out stories with female protagonists who are well into adulthood. There’s no minimum age requirement, but if your protagonist is not at least over thirty years old or so, it could be difficult for them to carry forward the type of stories we aim to publish. We definitely are not looking for coming-of-age stories. We are excited to showcase stories with protagonists who have already passed through those earlier milestones or hurdles and are at a different point in their life.

Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
We're a young magazine — our staff has all been very moved by the outpouring of support and interest we have encountered. From the very beginning, before we had even published a single story, so many writers entrusted us with their work.
