Parley Lit is a multimedia literary magazine designed to expand access to and engagement with contemporary literature through inclusive, cross-disciplinary storytelling. Presented as episodic releases, Parley Lit integrates text, audio, visual (illustration, film, painting, etc) and digital media to make literary expression accessible to diverse audiences and creators.

Our mission is rooted in accessibility, inclusion, and innovation. We recognize that traditional literary spaces often privilege specific formats, voices, and modes of consumption. Parley Lit seeks to undo these barriers by creating a platform where literature can be experienced through multiple sensory and creative pathways. Each episode includes accessible design elements such as transcripts, captioned audio, image descriptions, and alternative text, ensuring equitable participation for audiences with disabilities and varied learning or sensory preferences.

We are committed to representing a wide range of perspectives, emphasizing creators from historically marginalized communities and those experimenting at the intersections of genre, form, and technology. We also encourage collaboration between writers, visual artists, musicians, and digital storytellers, and in doing this, Parley Lit supports innovative approaches to narrative that reflect the capacity for us to build work together on a curated platform.

Through our episodic format, Parley Lit fosters sustained engagement, allowing audiences to encounter literature as an ongoing dialogue rather than a static artifact. Our goal is to build a vibrant, inclusive literary ecosystem that values accessibility as a creative practice and inclusion as a guiding principle.

We believe in work that is respectful, curious, funny, dark or brutal. We love work that drags us through your world and gives us something to think about or remember when we leave.
