Editorial Focus

The New Guard is a contest-centered, independent literary review, publishing 35+ emerging writers each volume from the US and abroad. We proudly publish in print and have short pieces published online on our BANG! page. Currently our print literary review is closed to submissions as we transition into our new press, High Frequency Press. More at www.highfrequencypress.com

Tips From the Editor

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. Please read our submission guidelines for more information.
