About

Trigger Warning Magazine is an annual literary journal published by Caffeinated Muse Press.

We publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art that does not look away.

Some of it will unsettle you. Some of it will stay with you longer than you expected. Some of it will feel like someone finally said the thing you weren't supposed to say out loud.

Trigger Warning Magazine Visual Art

This magazine exists for work that refuses to behave.

We publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, visual art, and hybrid work that crosses boundaries rather than staying inside them.

Minimal or expansive. Quiet or confrontational. What matters is that it carries intention, craft, and consequence.

We do not ask artists to soften their edges.

We do not assume fragility in our readers. We do not require apology for intensity.

If the work leaves nothing behind, it does not belong here.

Trigger Warning Magazine is published annually and nominates selected work for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.

This is not a safe space. It is an honest one.
