Raw Fiction's mission is to provide 

an urban independent publication 

that bridges the gap between high-

end literature and mainstream ideas. 

Created by young New Yorkers, 

Raw Fiction is a new initiative 

focused on the quality of fiction 

published for the enjoyment of our 

readers. We aim to publish writers 

from New York who want to 

challenge society's everyday 

thinking, who question the norm, 

and who present original characters 

and ideas. We accept fiction in the 

form of short stories ranging from 

experimental to realistic, by people 

who have something to say and 

want to be heard. In today's society 

of indifference, we're here to listen.
