Waxwing [1]
Waxwing is a literary journal promoting the tremendous cultural diversity of contemporary American literature, alongside international voices in translation. The editors believe that American voices are, at their cores, both multicultural and multinational, and so the editors’ mission is to include American writers from all cultural identities—in terms of race, ethnicity, indigenous tribe, gender, class, sexuality, age, education, ability, language, religion, and region—alongside international voices, published bilingually.
Waxwing publishes poetry, fiction, essays, interviews, reviews, and art, as well as international literature in translation. Waxwing currently accepts submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and translations.
Due to the high number of submissions and Submittable’s fees for magazines, Waxwing caps submissions at 300 a month, Submitting at the beginning of the month improves your chances of catching us before we hit the limit. If you are unable to submit due to closure, please come back and submit the next month.
