Please submit all work using the Submittable link below.
Before sending in your submission, please read our manifesto and ensure that the content of your submission aligns with our mission. We request that you submit no more than five poems or two prose pieces up to ~5,000 words each.
Simultaneous submissions, excerpts, and previously published items are accepted.
We kindly ask First North American Serial Rights for thirty days after which all rights are returned. All printed items, in addition to full versions of excerpted text will be added, with permission, to our web-based archive at thewaxpaper.com. Whenever possible, we will work with the authors to record their contribution and make it available alongside its online version.
We are powered by a small but mighty team of readers, please exercise patience in awaiting a response. We are thrilled to read the amount of work shared with us, and wish you the best of luck in all regards. Thank you for your time and consideration.
