Partially Shy is devoted to keeping art accessible. As an organization, we operate off of donations and our drive to curate exceptional work to fulfill the desires of our readers, contributors, and staff. We strive to publish diverse creatives, and work that unearths the new, the innovative, and the evocative. Read more about our mission here. 

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 through our Ko-Fi! 

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

You gave us your dreamiest work, and we've compiled a hazy escape to round off your summer and kickstart your fall. Read Daydreams and Doldrums here!
