The Puerto Rican Diaspora is claiming their place in virtual space. Be a part of our people's independent voice and free press!
If you’re a writer, blogger, artist, activist, scholar, ghetto/ barrionerd, malcria’o – whatever – hit us up! We actively encourage contributions on an array of topics and mediums (news, photography, poetry, essay, short story, zine, film, comic, etc). We only ask that it be relevant to the Puerto Rican people and experiences in the U.S. and stay true to our mission and vision. We also strongly encourage submissions from Puerto Ricans of other historically marginalized identities, including youth, women, afrodescendientes, queer and trans folks, and those living with (dis)ability.
To submit, send whatever you'd like to contribute (in a shared & editable google or word document). Include your full name, city/ state of residence, and a two sentence biography. Email: info@
