We are reinventing the West Wind Review constantly.

We are going against common wisdom when we say, “Do NOT read the journal to figure what we like to publish.” Why should literary journals be inbred like that? Instead, read the journal and figure out where we’re headed. This constant evolution of the West Wind depends on writers, like you, who send us stuff we’d never considered publishing before—but which makes us excited nonetheless.

We seek writing that shows us what creative writing will be about in the 21st Century.
