At Borderline Tales, our mission is to explore and celebrate the boundaries of imagination. We are dedicated to publishing literature and poetry that defies convention, embraces the strange, and illuminates the wonderfully weird.
We believe that the bizarre and the fantastical can provoke thought, spark creativity, and ignite a sense of wonder in our readers. Our goal is to create a platform for diverse voices that challenge perceptions, stretch the limits of storytelling, and bring to life the unexpected and the extraordinary.
Through a blend of speculative fiction, creative nonfiction, humor, and non-fiction, we aim to captivate, inspire, and engage our audience. Borderline Tales is a space where the unconventional is the norm, and where every story and poem pushes the edge of the imaginable.
Welcome to Borderline Tales – where the weird is wonderful, and the wacky is celebrated.
Encouraging Self-Identification
At Borderline Tales, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive literary community. We believe that literature is enriched by a multitude of voices and experiences, and we aim to amplify those from marginalized groups.
If you identify as part of a marginalized group, we encourage you to self-identify if you feel comfortable doing so. We understand the importance of intersectionality and are dedicated to creating a space where diverse identities and perspectives are celebrated and valued.

- Support: Self-identifying helps us to ensure that Borderline Tales is a supportive and welcoming environment for all contributors.
- Visibility: By highlighting the diverse backgrounds of our contributors, we aim to inspire and connect with readers from all walks of life.
