About

Welcome to Halflines!

Halflines is an online magazine devoted to creative writing. It features writings that not only explore themes such as love, longing, and heartbreak, but also leave plenty of space for our creative readers to remove the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction and everything in between.

The name comes from geometry: a half-line, or ray, that begins at a single point and stretches endlessly forward. It symbolizes open-ended meaning, where fiction and truth meet. This site is meant to be a home for creative readers who are eager to explore what lies between truth and imagination.

At Halflines, you’ll find carefully crafted:
  • Essays that reflect human experiences in a unique, engaging way.
  • Stories that blur the line between fact and fiction.
  • Poems that resonate with emotion and captivate your attention.

Our goal is to feature emotionally rich writings. We are also committed to exploring other themes like identity, memory, loss, belonging, time, nature, and more.

Whether you’re here to read, reflect, or otherwise, you are welcome. This is a space for those who find meaning and joy in the unfinished, the uncertain, and the in-between lines.
