Pretty Things is dedicated to uplifting the fallen, amplifying the unheard, and sharing the stories of women that have been cast aside for a ‘less feminist magazine’. Women's ideas, opinions, and voices are constantly overlooked, their stories shoved under the rug in fear of exposing the other's negative behaviors. If we don't share our stories, who will listen?
Pretty Things publishes a variety of work, including fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry, art, and experimental work. Our literary publication encourages feminist writing in all forms, aiming to capture the true experience of being a woman in today's world, no matter what that entails.
Whether your story is disheartening, joyful, or painfully complex, we want to hear it.
Sincerely,
Lauren Downs
Founder
Editor-in-Chief
