What we are looking for

Fiction

We’re looking for hybrid forms—stories that explore the spectrum of the human experience, stories that take risks and live in our imaginations long after the last printed word, stories that invite us into private rooms and into worlds of the writer’s own creation.

Creative Nonfiction

We believe the most effective way of connecting to others is through storytelling. Stories are critical for communication, learning, and they frame the human experience. Creative Nonfiction focuses on story. We welcome stories that reorient identity in narrative and time. The only strict parameter is that the writing is based in truth.

Poetry

We’re looking for poetry that reveals truths. Poetry that excites, challenges, grieves, and uplifts through lyric and narrative potency. We appreciate classical form and invite experimentation. This is a reassembling space, where diverse perspectives are valued and prioritized.

AI Statement 

At Unwoven Literary & Arts Magazine, it is our mission to lift up the voices of writers and artists who have been traditionally underrepresented in the literary arts. 

While we acknowledge that AI has created new questions about the creative process, it cannot fulfill our mission — to contribute to an evolving story of writers and artists who pull at the common threads in our lives through storytelling.

We do not accept AI-generated content because we want to experience our shared humanity through the art of storytelling. Join us in honoring and celebrating art and the written word.
