Database of Spanish Literary Magazines &
Journals in the U.S.
According to the NY Post, there are 41 million native Spanish speakers in the US, and 11.6 million people who are bilingual. It is time to render a wide open space to the narratives that represent us, in our mother tongue. There is a great need for spaces that recognize the value of our written words and not only our oral tradition.
The following is a list of magazines and journals whose mission rejects the mainstream pattern of linguistic exclusion. These platforms create a place of convergence in an act that can be considered subversive—to write in Spanish in the US.
Acentos Review
