Editorial Focus
Wallstrait is all about publishing quality, hard-to-define proseand treating writers right. They love discovering and championing great fiction across all genres, especially bold stories that don’t quite fit the aesthetic of other journals. They don’t have any demands on style or genre. If they love it, they’ll publish it. They aim to be one of the fastest-responding journals out there and provide feedback as time allows. They publish triweekly and pay $100 upon publication.
Tips From the Editor
No limitations on genre. Just send us your best prose. We publish a new story every three weeks. Help us keep our readers on their toes. 500 to 3,000 words is our preferred range, but you can submit up to 5,000 words maximum.
