No Tokens Journal

Last updated

No Tokens Journal is a literary magazine "celebrating work that is felt in the spine." [1] It was established by T Kira Madden, who said it arose out of a need for more equity in publishing. [2] The first issue appeared in Spring 2014. [3] It publishes fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. [1] No Tokens is run entirely by women, queer, trans, and non-binary individuals. [4] Their staff reviews and votes on all submissions in all genres. [2]

The name came from a conversation about three people "missing things – that was all. Subway tokens were one of those things. Print journals were another." [1] In the past, the magazine has run a Young Poets Prize. [5]
