Welcome to Partially Shy Literary Magazine!

At Partially Shy, we believe that in every piece of art, there is a raw truth that permeates through each of us. 

Our magazine is dedicated to showcasing the very best in literature, poetry, and art that represents this truth: we believe that art has the power to connect us, inspire us, and help us better understand ourselves and the world around us. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring artist, we invite you to join us on this journey of discovery and exploration. Our goal is to provide a platform for artists to share their work and for readers to discover new and exciting voices. 

General submissions will always be free, online copies of our magazine will always be free. We value you, your art, and your time and firmly believe in free spaces for artists and readers. If you'd like to support our endeavors feel free to donate: venmo - @Sarah-McKiernan-1

Thank you for visiting Partially Shy Literary Magazine, we can't wait to share our passion for art with you!
