About
wards is a literary journal based on its versatile title. Each issue invites writers from different, specific demographics to submit fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and research articles. Our goal is to reflect a range of unique experiences and perspectives with each issue’s theme. Wards are watchers, wards are storied places, and warding is an act of defense or self-preservation. Wards possess a unique point of view, and are often isolated. wards gives you a turn to tell your story.
Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.
