About the magazine

Wolf Twin Review is an online literary and arts journal founded in 2018 with the aim of publishing work that explores the uncanny, the liminal, and the quietly strange. Its founding ethos rejects the false binary between experimental and accessible art, seeking instead writing and visual work that is formally adventurous yet emotionally resonant. The journal publishes two issues per year, featuring poetry, short fiction, essays, and hybrid texts, alongside a rotating gallery of visual art. Core to its mission is a commitment to emerging and underrepresented voices, with a deliberate emphasis on work that resists easy categorization.

Editorial focus

Wolf Twin Review publishes primarily haiku, tanka, and short form poetry with an emphasis on nature.

Reading periodJan 1 to Dec 31
Reading feeNo
PaymentNo payment
Response timeLess than 3 months
Simultaneous submissionsNo
Unsolicited submissionsYes

Before submitting, read at least one full issue to understand the journal's aesthetic, which favors subtle unease over overt horror or genre tropes. They accept simultaneous submissions but ask to be notified immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. Response times average 4-6 weeks for poetry and 8-12 weeks for prose. Include a brief cover letter with your submission, but avoid lengthy bios or lists of previous publications. The editors value concise, well-crafted work; there are no strict word limits, but most published pieces range from 1,000 to 4,000 words. For visual art, submit up to five high-resolution images with a short artist statement.
