The primary mission of Pleiades: Literature in Context is to discover new literary voices. The magazine seeks to publish emerging writers, most especially writers from underrepresented groups, like writers of color, women, non-binary, and trans writers, and writers with disabilities. Evidence of the journal’s success with this is seen in the most recent VIDA (Women in the Literary Arts) count, which calculates the number of underrepresented writers a literary journal publishes. The creative writing students at the University of Central Missouri have opportunities to intern with the magazine, and many of these students are first generation and non-traditional students, who otherwise would not have access to opportunities to work with professional writers and editors, and to attend conferences with the faculty editors.

The editors regularly take stock of the accomplishments of writers whom we published early in their careers, and this allows us to determine how successful our choices have been over the years. By this measure, Pleiades has been extremely successful. The target audience is different for the two parts of this project, the publication and the Visiting Writers Series. The target audience for Pleiades is broad; it is distributed across the United States and Canada via our distributors (Ingram Periodicals, Media Solutions, and Project MUSE) and our approximately 700-member subscription list. Pleiades’s goal is to more widely publicize and advertise the literary journal and to expand our subscriber list by at least 20% this year through publicity and the publication of quality literature and book reviews.
