Editorial Focus

Quarterly West looks for writing that is, exciting, challenging, risky, unpredictable, and different. Different stomps in. Maybe it seeps in. Sometimes, and in our favorite works, different is always already there and it strikes flint and blazes. This is what we look for.

Tips From the Editor

Quarterly West opens for our contests in poetry and prose in Fall and for regular submissions in Spring and Summer. We also hold an annual chapbook contest and open regularly for Special Features.
