At the Heartlines Literary Magazine, we believe that writing is an act of freedom. We are more than a magazine; we are a community built on mutual support, creative exploration, and the belief that stories have the power to connect us all. Our mission is to provide an inclusive space where every writer has the opportunity to share their truth—whether through poetry, fiction, essays, or experimental forms. Our themes offer a great amount of freedom so creativity can truly flourish. This edition, we wanted to display the echoes of the heart- passions, identity, relationships. What makes your heart beat?
With this issue we are pleased to spotlight the work of the young creative writers at
Notre Dame High School.
