How to submit
Process
We use Submittable.
Cover letters
Include a short cover letter & bio in the body of your email; we’d like to know who you are, not just who’s published you — if you’re in, from, or have roots in Detroit, let us know! While students, faculty, and staff, currently or formerly (within reason) affiliated with Wayne State University are ineligible for consideration or publication of original work, anyone is welcome to submit reviews & responses.
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
Written submissions should be sent as a doc, docx, or pdf, while hybrid and digital submissions can be in any file type you think we can access without additional software.
Rights for published work
The Woodward Review purchases first North American print publication rights only; all other rights are retained by the author. We will also offer the option of publishing under a Creative Commons license.

About the Magazine
Founded in 2022 | United States
The Woodward Review seeks poetry, prose, art, hybrid and digital media, and the conversations these different forms can inspire. TWR is built on the mutual exchange between creative work and its reception. Whether your response is personal, critical, or creative, collisions with art are never passive.
