welcome to Melli Lit✧˖°

A literary magazine aimed to shed light on teenage voices aged 13-19. Every day, hundreds of teens are dismissed due to their age. Our goal is to see those opinions and creative voices, and give them a platform to be unabashedly themselves. We want to hear your truth and your voice whether it’s in the form of poetry, prose, or visual media.
