santa monica high school's student-run literary + arts magazine
about us
"SunLit. It's our name but also our mission: to illuminate and bring to full color the work of student artists and poets, writers and photographers, the talented voices of Samohi."
-- Editor's Note, Issue 1, Spring 2020
There hadn't been a literary magazine at Samohi for half a decade when we at the SunLit decided to create it from scratch again. Our most recent issue was released in Spring 2023, which you can view at https://bit.ly/sunlit23 or by clicking the button below. We're so grateful to all the contributors and readers!
