For writing that refuses the hours it was made to keep.
For voices that arrive too late, too early,
from somewhere outside the map.
latenight breakfast is for writing that doesn't fit — the essay that became a poem, the poem that became testimony, the story that refused to end where it was supposed to.
We publish work across forms, languages, and registers, with particular attention to writers whose voices have been shaped by erasure, displacement, and the necessity of reinvention.
We do not charge submission fees. Writers we publish are paid. We write back to everyone.
In a moment when identity is being legislated, named, surveilled, and denied — we are asking writers to transgress. Not as performance. Not as polemic. But as a formal and ethical necessity.
What does your writing do that it isn't supposed to? Where does it exceed its form, its genre, its assigned place? Who does it speak to, past all the gatekeepers?
We welcome prose, poetry, essay, hybrid work, translation, and forms that resist naming — in English, Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, and other languages. Work that hasn't found its home elsewhere is especially welcome here.
We are open for submissions to Issue One: Transgressions. We read everything. We respond to everything.
Writers at all stages welcome — including those who have never been published, or who have stopped submitting because it stopped making sense to.
