Literally Darling launched in May of 2013 with a ragtag group of millennial women looking to share their stories, understand their lives, and come together as a generation that found itself lost at sea.
Over the years, our magazine has evolved along with the women who write for it – we’ve grown older and perhaps a bit more cynical – but with that age has come the experience of knowing what we do – and don’t – want. We’ve learned to stand up for ourselves by helping others do the same. We have created a community of women standing shoulder-to-shoulder with one another.”

One of the core strengths of Literally Darling lies in its commitment to genuine, unfiltered storytelling. It serves as a platform where millennial women can share their highs and lows, fostering empathetic connections across a shared digital space. Topics range from career advice and personal development to mental health and cultural commentary, offering readers a broad yet relatable spectrum of content.
In its early days, Literally Darling focused on capturing the essence of millennial life in real-time. As time went on, its content evolved to reflect the changing priorities and experiences of its writers and readers.
