Editorial Focus

MUSE, based in California’s Inland Empire, is especially looking to publish work from underrepresented or misrepresented groups, such as Black, Indigenous, Latinx and other people of color, disabled people, LGBTQ+, present/formerly incarcerated people, and others from a culturally and linguistically diverse background. The editors seek and welcome writers of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions, ability statuses, religions, socioeconomic classes, veteran status, and educational backgrounds.
