Waccamaw The editors encourage interested authors to read previous issues of Waccamaw before submitting. Our only clear editorial criterion is excellence. Beyond that, there are few things we can say to describe what we’re looking for. We value work that is mysterious, but not that which is needlessly obscure. We appreciate ambiguity, but not utter meaninglessness. We like clarity and do not equate it with simplicity. We believe writing devoid of image is devoid of art. We find that our aesthetic beliefs are undergoing constant revision.	Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction	Yes	Yes	Feb 1 - Feb 28	Web

Wag's Revue Wag’s Revue is an online-only literary quarterly of poetry, essays, fiction and interviews with waggish luminaries of our day.
