Liberty Island Magazine is an online fiction magazine with a focus on politically conservative fiction. Its CEO Adam Bellow is an editor at HarperCollins known for his conservative ideals.

The National Review brought attention to the site and the cause of conservative fiction by publishing an essay by Bellow entitled "Let Your Right Brain Run Free". The essay and the magazine have been criticized by left-leaning publications such as The Washington Post, and while some conservative figures have expressed suppor,t others have expressed reservations about the endeavor, noting that purely ideological fiction is not good fiction.

While the site has primarily published short stories and the occasional essay, Liberty Island also began publishing novels in January 2015, beginning with Roy “Griff” Griffis’ The Big Bang, the first in his Lonesome George series. The Liberty Island team has ambitions to further expand their endeavors to other forms of media such as music and film.
