Word west revue calls for submission of various forms of literary work.
Word West Revue is a new journal that seeks a broad range of art for publication. They want fiction, nonfiction, poetry, video submissions, and photography.
Word west revue is a home for western-y writing and art and a whole lot more. a place to reimagine ‘the west’ and ‘westerns’ from new angles, overlooked perspectives, in both analogue + digital. They are into subversion and surprise. They are into road trips and weird americana, ufos and cosmic country—from the mountains to the deserts to the beaches to the plains. Go west-ish.
West Word Revue is looking for writing and art and whatever else you’ve got that engages with and reimagines the ‘west.’
Ideally, you or your work will have some connection to the western U.S.A, but this theme is wide open to your interpretation (though their print issues will be more focused and western-y than online, which will be more free-wheeling).

They also have a press.The deadline is 15th of November, 2022.
