the mission...

point blank, mythium is here to serve the needs of writers who are traditionally locked out of the mainstream outlets, meaning colored writers of various ethnic backgrounds and cultures who often are required to conform their narratives to 'universal standards' in order to be considered contemporary or relevant.

we just want you to be good at what you do, regardless of how you go about it.

bring us your oldwive's tales, your folklore, your mythologies, your memoirs, your literary endeavors, your out-right lies and outrageous truths and untruths... if you have a story to tell and come from a long line of long lines, then submit your stories and poems to us.

we can keep your secrets... (if 'keeping' means publishing your every word in a quality rag for the whole world to access, then yeah, that's what we mean!)
