We Believe That Anyone Can Be a Storyteller.

About our Publication

• Waymark Literary Magazine is a fully online magazine in html format. We publish fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and art.
• Waymark accepts submissions from undergraduate students from North America (Canada, Mexico, North America, the Caribbean islands) and its affiliated territories. Work submitted by students residing outside of North America or work from non-undergraduate students will not be considered for publication.

About Our Issues

• Waymark publishes two issues every academic year, one per semester. Submissions for our Fall/Winter '25 issue open July 1, 2025 and close on November 16, 2025. 
• Due to summer break, Waymark's submission review process will be suspended until late August. No decisions on submitted pieces will be released until then.
  

Submission Guidelines

• All pieces should be submitted with adherence to MLA formatting: 12 pt. font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, page numbers in the top-left.
• Waymark does not publish erotica or fan fiction of any kind. We reject works with excessive violence, hate speech, and unnecessary gore.
