ABOUT ACROSS & THROUGH
Across & Through was a literary magazine that published high-quality writing and art created by trans and non-binary individuals. We accepted many forms of creativity, such as fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, photography, and art.
​
The magazine was founded in January 2018 by a writer/editor seeking to diversify the literary landscape and demonstrate that one's gender identity should not determine the way in which their creative work is received (by both readers and publishing bodies alike).
We aimed to give individual creators the opportunity to reach varied audiences and increase their visibility by providing a space which is free from the fear of discrimination.
We believed that everyone with determination and talent deserved the opportunity to share their work, and we strive to make that happen.

To find out who we published while running, visit 'contributors' – without these amazingly talented individuals, we would not have a magazine to share with you!
​
​
✓ We aim to publish the works of writers, artists, and photographers whose talents may be less visible than others due to discrimination within the publishing world – or the fear of it.
​
✓ We hope our contributors will be judged by said talent, rather than their gender identities.
​
✓ We are not trying to separate the talents/abilities of writers/artists who are transgender from those who are not by suggesting they are different. We aim to bring more diversity to the literary landscape by publishing their work.
​
✓ We would like to show that discrimination against writers, artists, and photographers due to gender identity is unfounded.
✓ We want to create a space where writers and artists will not be afraid to share their work.
​
✓ We strive to show that writers/artists who are transgender are more than "transgender writers/artists". Contributors are extremely talented individuals regardless of gender.
