To survive, you must tell stories.

​

Between the Lines is an international, annual literary journal exploring the ways in which writing can spark social justice and community change. Founded by inaugural Maryland Youth Poet Laureate Tara Prakash, the journal examines the role of writing in creating change. We receive submissions globally, including submissions from Japan, Colombia, and London. Published and nationally acclaimed high school and college students review submissions, choosing those that resonate, spark further reflection, and leave space for the unsaid.

 

We hope our journal represents the power of writing and the arts. Click on the "Submit" page in the above menu to learn more!
