AMATEUR WRITER...GAMER...FOOTBALLER...STUDENT
Life long poet and nature writer feminista. Looking for fellow wild spirited ones to explore our native tongues.
We look for well-crafted, thoughtful, and thought-provoking writing and visual art that examines, interprets, and redefines the full spectrum of life, past and present, in the Midwest. The Midwest is the region of the north central United States that includes the Great Lakes area and the upper Mississippi River valley (according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Midwest is comprised of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Missouri). Of course, the Midwest is also a state of mind.
Revise your work, proofread, and be professional, patient, and persistent.
Hello! My name is Mehr and I recently graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. in Earth Systems and a B.A. with Honors in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. While I was admitted to an environmental communication master's program, I am taking a break and spending the year working on a novel draft (literary fiction). I was creatively blocked throughout college and did not care for my art and writing the way I wish I had, though I did write a collection of prose poems for which I was awarded honors by my department. I also completed a tutorial at Oxford University in feminist poetry and wrote the first draft of a novel for my capstone project last year which centers women of color and the environment. I love writing and am really in need of a creative community. I have both fiction and poetry workshop experience, so I know I can be helpful to others as well! While I write fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, I am currently seeking guidance and community around my novel. I am really enjoying the writing process and am slowly uncovering my voice once again and would love to find a safe environment where we can all share and grow our work together!

West Trade Review strives to put forth the best contemporary poetry, fiction, artwork, and photography and publishes a mix of established and up and coming writers. Our mission is to perpetuate the work of artists both well known and yet-to-be-known, simultaneously enriching our world through the written word and visual arts. We strive to reflect diversity in style, content and perspective throughout prose, poetry, photography and other artwork. Our goal is to simply present to you the best art possible by both emerging and established creative minds.
We embrace diversity and like works that are edgy and affect us intellectually and emotionally.
We want poems , personal essays, and stories that make the reader think and feel, work that humbles us with its joy, humor, embarrassment, anger, hope, grief, or all of the above. We gravitate toward exquisitely crafted writing that has something important to teach us--something that readers really need to know, but might not have understood this was a need until the last word of the work. Quality of writing, style, and characterization are important to us.
Please don't send us poems that rhyme, slam-style works, or dogmatically religious pieces.
Have a question abour our journal? Don't hesitate to ask.

We don’t want to limit our readers; therefore, we don’t want to limit you. We know quality work when we experience it. We don’t mean to be coy, but you need to know that we’re not interested in making your art conform to some preconceived aesthetic.

We have over 80,000 readers in 145 countries, and they are hungry for the best new writing.
We host writing contests in fiction and poetry and welcome international submissions. We juxtapose tradition with experiment, the up-and-comer with the established writer, and create a new dialogue.
