Editorial Focus

The Literary Wire is a digital-first publisher dedicated to innovative storytelling across literary forms. Through its Journalistic Poetry Project, it explores the intersection of journalism and verse. The publication welcomes poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, and experimental submissions, seeking strong voices and fresh perspectives. They publish both individual pieces and collections, embracing traditional and experimental approaches. The Literary Wire supports emerging and established writers through digital platforms and print-on-demand offerings.

Tips From the Editor

Writers should familiarize themselves with their submission guidelines and Journalistic Poetry Project before submitting. The Literary Wire welcomes both traditional and experimental forms but emphasizes craft mastery. While they accept simultaneous submissions, prompt notification is required if work is accepted elsewhere. Premium subscribers receive guaranteed feedback on submissions. For journalistic poetry, include references to source material and demonstrate the ability to transform current events into compelling verse while maintaining journalistic integrity. They value emotional resonance and attention to formatting guidelines.
