#EnbyLife Journal is an online publication for non-binary and gender diverse creatives. In a world where diverse and marginalised voices are so often not heard, considered or understood, #EnbyLife Journal aims to showcase the creative works of non-binary and gender diverse people, and pay them for their work.

We currently nominate for Best of the Net, Genrepunk Awards, and Monarch Queer Literary Awards. Our writers Kaia Ball and Lily Lalios were finalists in the 2025 Genrepunk Awards.

History

#EnbyLife started out as a zine, born in July 2016. It was a paper and digital zine of collected stories, poetry, comics and art by non-binary and gender diverse people from Meanjin (Brisbane) and so-called Australia. Since its publication, #EnbyLife has been reborn and revived as an online journal, featuring non-binary and gender diverse artists and creatives worldwide. In 2020, #EnbyLife journal paired with Baby Teeth Journal to create the queer digital zine Leaf Pile.
