Wild Roof Journal positions itself as an online art and literary publication that draws from a broad spectrum of creative practitioners—painters, drawers, photographers, and writers working in poetry, fiction, and hybrid forms. The journal's stated interest in visual art alongside writing suggests a curatorial sensibility that values cross-disciplinary conversation, where poems may sit in dialogue with images rather than in isolation. For poets, this means the context of publication is not a traditional literary review but a mixed-media space, and submissions should be considered with that adjacency in mind. The guidelines for poetry are specific: submit one to six poems in a single file, with .docx preferred. This structure indicates an editorial process that reads work in batches, likely assessing a poet's range and consistency across multiple pieces rather than a single standalone poem. The fee of $4.50 is modest but not nominal, and it signals a pay-to-submit model that is increasingly common among independent online journals. There is no mention of payment for contributors, nor of prize money; the reward is publication in an online venue that also features guest posts, interviews, and writing prompts via its Substack. What the journal offers, then, is visibility within a curated online space that extends beyond the issue itself into an ongoing newsletter and contributor community. Poets should understand that acceptance may involve not only the publication of poems but also potential engagement with the journal's ancillary content. The absence of a stated print run or physical distribution means the primary audience is digital, and the journal's aesthetic—implied by its name and its inclusion of visual art—leans toward work that is evocative, perhaps nature-oriented or atmospheric, though no explicit thematic constraints are given.
