About Covert
Covert Literary Magazine is a yearly publication of literature and visual art for Black, Asian and ethnically diverse writers and artists of colour. The magazine is based in Brighton, UK and was established in 2020. We publish fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, hybrid forms and artwork, with future issues embracing more experimental, journalism and audio visual content. Our aim is to provide a platform for new and underrepresented diverse talent for whom mainstream publishing opportunities are inaccessible, whose work is reviewed, edited and published alongside more established names.
With each issue, we welcome Guest Editors and an Editorial Board of writers, creatives and artists from across England and the UK. Previous Guest Editors include Umi Sinha, Dean Atta, Mohammed Z. Rahman, AFLO. the poet, Jessica J. Lee, Sean Wai Keung, Titilayo Farukuoye and Elaine Chiew. The Editorial Board is led by CEO/Founder Amy Zamarripa Solis with invited guests. Our previous Editorial Board has included Sharon Duggal, Katy Massey, Jasmine Isa Qureshi, Akila M. Richards, Zita Holbourne FRSA and Tammye Huf. Covert Literary Magazine is published by Writing Our Legacy CIC.
The magazine is available as print, digital and institutional subscriptions, with back issues available from our online shop.
Writing Our Legacy CIC is an arts and heritage organisation that enables Black, Asian and ethnically diverse/BPOC* people to tell their story through writing and the creative arts. We were established in 2012.
We give writers and other creatives a platform and community to feel supported, nurtured and evolve their work through the creative pipeline, from start to publication. We share stories and heritage of diaspora communities and bring them to life through various art forms for audiences to learn and take part in cultural heritage. We are an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
*BPOC stands for ‘Black people, People of Colour’ and is a self-identifying term. While we use the term BPOC, we acknowledge the limitations of this terminology. At the core of our network is the aim to address and overcome systemic barriers that our members face directly or indirectly based on their ethnic or national identities, race or perceived racial identities, or the colour of their skin as per the Equality Act of 2010. This includes people who identify as Black, brown, people of colour, Global Majority, mixed-race, multiple heritage and/or are from the Global South, and/or are East and South-East Asian, West Asian, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, African-Caribbean, Caribbean, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Indigenous, or First Nations, and diasporas.
