About the Magazine
Founded in 2016 | United States
We’re dedicated to challenging all things that diminish our collective quest for social justice and a healthy planet for all, while having a bit of fun. Because we originally committed to publishing until the Trump administration was no longer, our last biweekly issue launched on Thursday 21 January 2021—yippee! However, we are now publishing Writers Resist quarterly because there’s an obvious need for ongoing resistance. And we have other things in the works, so stay tuned by subscribing to receive calls for submissions, event announcements, and other writerly news. A peedy bit more about us: As an intersectional feminist journal, our editors are intentionally diverse, including Asian, Black, Jewish, LGBTQ, Mexican, and white representation. The more diversity the merrier. You’ll find the latest Writers Resist news scrolling on the homepage, and all of our previous issues are available via the Contents page. We support VIDA’s #saferLIT campaign, a pledge to help make “all corners of the literary community as safe as possible from non-consensual sexual advances, requests for unwanted sexual favors, and other verbal and physical harassment.” If you like what you see, subscribe to Writers Resist—it’s free!—and follow us on Facebook @WritersResist, Twitter @WritersResist and Instagram at WritersResist.
