General submissions are currently closed.
Art and submissions for BIPOC poets are always open.
If you are a former contributor, we ask that you wait a year before submitting again.
Thank you for considering West Trestle Review as a home for your work. We are open to art and poetry by creators around the globe who self-identify as women or as non-binary. We also accept one reprint for each issue's Fairlies feature. These are poems by BIPOC women and non-binary writers whose work appeared in a print-only publication more than a year prior to submission.
We do accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know immediately if your work is accepted by another publication. We strive to respond within three months. If you have not heard back from us within 90 days, feel free to give us a nudge.
If you need to withdraw a piece, please message us via Submittable. Please note that the "note" feature is private to the submitter, and we're not able to view messages there.
We’ve pledged with VIDA’s #saferLIT campaign. This means we don’t tolerate or accept anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, fatphobia, Islamophobia, xenophobia, or stories that in any way perpetuate negative stereotypes.
WTR offers:
Originality and ownership clause: All contributors will be asked to affirm that the work is her / their own creative effort, unadulterated by machine-generated visual or literary art.
