Editorial Focus
Waxing & Waning is a literary journal that seeks what’s on the fringe.
Tips From the Editor
Send us whatever is deep and true. The moon represents this idea: what is dark, what is brooding, what is wild. Work submitted to Waxing & Waning should be honest and well executed. It should scream coherently; it should drag something out of us that we haven’t seen before; it should rip out our black hearts and show them to us. Bring us the work everyone else (including you) is afraid of.
Proper manuscript format will get you bonus points. If your fiction/creative nonfiction is longer than 5,000 words, it must merit the space it will take. For poetry, we're already a little skeptical about your Howl-long epic.
