h2>Dating : Lit Up Reforms — Must Read!
Lit Up asks for your support
As you all know, just like Santa’s busy elves, we have been working non-stop, and we are doing our best to keep this extraordinary community happy and inspired. The last couple of years have been a huge commitment to readers and writers in terms of time and expertise extended and, like many other Medium publications, we’ve realised we can’t keep to those levels without some support, and so we’d like to introduce you to our Patreon page.
Supporting the publication allows us to focus on contests and anthologies, editing, and the support of artists for covers, run workshops and promote our writers’ works through interviews and reviews, promotions across social media platforms and through Lit Up.
Please visit and donate if you can, and see what even the smallest help offered can give you in return.

Some of our news and future plans:
Lit Up has a new official image to adorn our banners!
Do you all love it as much as we do? This splendid image has the signature of the magnificent Kaori Nagata, and we adore it! There is nothing we love more than to collaborate with artists like Kaori and to present to you such beautiful results.
Feel free to follow Kaori on Instagram and to support her work, she truly is one of my favourite artists to date!

Magazine
And last but not least, even though we have delayed horribly the launch of our official magazine, we hope that, with your support, we will be ready to fly this summer!
Note: we have also decided that submissions to our official magazine will be free as well after all! Goodies, goodies, literary treats — I’m so excited (yes, again!)
Now, I know this may sound like an exaggeration and that you’ll think that every editor on earth would have said the same thing but hear me out: the following stories ARE NOT TO BE MISSED! To prove you I’m not exaggerating, I’ve provided the links below — decide for yourself. I’m certain, you won’t want to stop reading!
Also, tell us about your favourite reads by responding to our newsletters. The tales you loved will be considered for audio recordings! Give our writers a chance, you won’t regret it! 🙂 🙂
