Wort is a publication dedicated to writing that emerges from the soil of grassroots and folk herbalism, and its adjacent plant practices. The journal positions itself not merely as a repository of botanical knowledge but as a platform for voices that understand plantwork as a form of resistance and resilience. Issue Five continues this mission, seeking non-fiction that reflects an intimacy with and experiential knowledge of medicinal plants as multidimensional living beings. The call is open to both lay and professional practitioners, embracing the diversity of herbalism as 'the people's medicine' across all lifeways, lineages, and traditions. What distinguishes this opportunity is its explicit reverence for the living earth and its people, and its openness to a wide range of stylistic approaches. Contributors are encouraged to submit in any style that suits the journal, with the understanding that the work must be rooted in service to and reverence for the plant world. The journal also welcomes co- or collectively written pieces and author-artist collaborations, signaling a curatorial vision that values communal knowledge-making and interdisciplinary dialogue. While no monetary prize is offered, the selected works will be published in Issue Five, joining a body of writing that treats herbalism as a serious, living practice. There is no submission fee, aligning with the journal's commitment to accessibility and its recognition of herbalism as a people's medicine. The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2026, and full details are available on the journal's submissions page.
