The Magazine

Our literary magazine is how we began, and each year, it’s how we begin again.

We publish it all — prose and poetry, visual art, excerpts from plays, interdisciplinary experiments, and audio stories — so long as the piece is engaging with our topic in an interesting way. This is what makes each issue all the more textured and nuanced, each conversation that much richer in its complexity.

Community Anthologies

We give our editorial keys to curators in the community to publish their own anthologies.

Each year, Seventh Wave brings on four editors-in-chief to produce their own Community Anthologies — mini issues that showcase 6-8 writers or artists, each tethered to a topic of the editor’s choosing.

Spotlights

We shine lights on our contributors’ and residents’ writing practices.

When it comes to creativity, we know that so much of the labor, inspiration, and process behind a piece can be invisibilized. Our Spotlights help remedy that by making the act of writing more approachable. Each Spotlight offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one maker’s process.

We can’t wait to get to know your voice.

We publish people, not pieces, which is why we infuse every aspect of our editorial process with curiosity, care, and collaboration.
