Spotlights
We champion process alongside product, which is why we shine lights on our community’s 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.

Publications
“Seventh Wave’s approach to publication is truly radical in the best of ways.”
Our issues explore topics that encapsulate the most pressing social issues of our times.
We give our editorial keys to curators in the community to publish their own anthologies on our platforms.
“There is a different feeling to being published as part of a cohort, all writing toward the same theme.
Whatever that feeling is — community, care, solidarity, grace — Seventh Wave, in its gestures, is holding this space, a space where our words can not only sit side by side but as part of a shared vision.”
— David Naimon, 2023 “On Rivers” Community Anthology contributor
