If you are a writer seeking a magazine that will help you incubate an idea and produce something wonderful, The Seventh Wave is the place for you.
Never in my career have I worked with such involved, inspiring, passionate editors, and I'll never forget it. Thank you for seeing me, and thank you for all the work you do.
So often things just get published basically as-is. You were so thoughtful and thought-provoking with your comments. I’m not sure I’ve ever been read quite so well by anyone. Thank you. I had no idea when you accepted my work that I’d get so much editing support.
It was so touching to receive a handwritten card, and thank you for what you wrote. It was such an honor and joy to work with you. It was a very different and welcome experience. I wish more publications offered the kind of insight and care that you offered during the editorial process.
I want this to be as good as it can be, and you are totally making that happen. I'm so grateful for your input, as this piece has been a few years of me staring at my laptop screen thinking, "What is this, even?" So. You're an amazing editor and managed to sort through things I felt "meh" about, but didn't know how to solve while honoring my voice. This is hard to do. Thank you.
Received the nicest rejection from @seventhwavemnag. Truly! Like showed they'd read what I sent over. Just very kind and encouraging. Highly recommend getting rejected by them!
We asked 28 writers over 10 issues and 5 years to take us behind the scenes and into the depths of their beginnings.
You’ll read about heartache, legacy, and representation, and why it matters who our contributors are creating for. What unites them all is an indelible dedication to their craft, and to understanding the impact and the role of their words in the context of the worlds around them. This anthology pulls back the curtain on creativity, and shines a light on what it means to be an artist today.Get your copy of “WE KEEP BEGINNING: an anthology on process” today.The magazine is our what,
the residency is our how, and
