About the magazine

The Windhover is a literary and arts journal published by the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, a private Christian institution in Belton, Texas. Founded in 1997, it takes its name from Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem, signaling a commitment to craftsmanship, spiritual inquiry, and the natural world. The journal publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art, and hosts an annual writers' festival that brings together established and emerging voices. Its mission is to foster a community of writers and artists who engage thoughtfully with questions of faith, meaning, and beauty, without sacrificing literary rigor.

Submitting your work

Reading periodCloses in 11 days

Writers and artists should familiarize themselves with the journal's aesthetic, which favors lyrical, well-crafted work that engages with faith, doubt, or the human condition in complex ways. Avoid overtly preachy or simplistic religious verse. Submit via the website during reading periods, typically in the fall and spring. The annual festival offers opportunities for networking and readings; consider attending to understand the community. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter that situates your work within the journal's mission.
