Beaver Magazine

About

Beaver Magazine is a literary journal accepting poetry, fiction, nonfiction and art! We love works of any kind. You won’t find a strict, gatekeeping submission guideline in these waters. Writing and reading is for peace, not stress. Our editors met in undergrad poetry workshops and loved each other so much we had to start a flourishing project together. Our editors were unified by the beautiful discovery of creative writing’s impact on all of our souls. After being separated by space and time and forking paths, we woke up one morning and started this journal to be able to read and enjoy writing and art together again. We hope that you enjoy immersing yourself in our dam website. Take a load off, throw that tree you’ve been gnawing to the side, and swim in these waterways of words from around the world..
