Welcome to Neverland Lit

Neverland—a paradise filled with whimsicality, eternal childhood, and a land that knows of no boundaries—is a place we’ve all wanted to visit at least once in our lives. We’ve pressed our fingers against the window, stared at endless constellations and asked the man in the moon if he had seen a speck of green in the midst of the cerulean night, only to receive a swift no in response. We grew up, shed out of childhood and slipped into adolescence, into adulthood faster than we learned how to count to three. We realized that the world doesn’t run on pixie dust but instead, runs on consumerism and dreams tainted with factory fumes and empty promises that the American dream made us believe were going to be fulfilled until they never were. 

But what if Neverland was real? What if that untouchable paradise was more tangible than what we originally thought?

Our Mission

Neverland Lit is an international youth literary magazine that seeks work from marginalized and emerging writers who have felt as if they are lost for far too long. We seek to create a community where voices that have been disregarded and silenced can find a Neverland of their own, where they can embrace the qualities that make them unique without having to fear judgment or rejection. Whether you’re a writer or a reader, we hope that this place reminds you that raising your voice, like flight, is always possible as long as you don’t doubt your ability to do so. We hope that you’ll accompany us on our journey to the second star to the right, straight on till morning.
