The Wax Paper is a broadsheet publication open to all forms of written word, imagery, and collected conversation.

The first priority of the Wax Paper is to expand our understanding of the people we share the world with, and in doing so, expand our understanding of ourselves. Pieces will be selected on their ability to illuminate the humanity and significance of the subjects that inhabit the work. The Wax Paper is inspired by the life of Louis “Studs” Terkel. Please read our mission statement and send work that corresponds with our mission.
