Our Mission

To the hopeless romantics, the teen writers, the dreamers with worlds in their mind, to the people who bleed in ink on paper, to the Swifties, to the ones who want to be heard . . . Welcome home.

 

Welcome to Limerence Lit! We are a literary magazine created by teens, for teens. Established in August 2024, this magazine was created by a rising sophomore with a love for all things love and pretty words, so she thought, what better way to honor romance than to create a literary magazine based on it?

The magazine is named after the word 'limerence,' which, by the textbook definition, means "obsessive romantic attraction or infatuation with another person," but this is the kind of word where a mere description doesn't do it justice. Love, in all forms, is such a complicated feeling that some writers spend entire books describing, let alone a single phrase that defines the word. In order to honor this feeling of love, each issue will focus on a different trope within the romance world, for you to use however you wish (dissect it, tear it apart, put it back together, make it happy, make it humorous, make it heart-wrenchingly sorrowful).

 

With the goal of allowing all voices to be heard, regardless of age, country, religion, or any other factors, we publish every work we receive in one way or another, either in our issues or on our Instagram page. Far too long have teens not been allowed to express their thoughts through their words simply because of their age, and we're here to change that.

​

So if you love romance and all its tropes, beautiful writing, or just want to take a look around, we're happy to have you here!
