Mission

Wandering Lights Literary Magazine celebrates emerging and established writers by empowering them to share their light through well-crafted, innovative storytelling. We are committed to publishing meaningful literary and artistic works that foster creativity, amplify diverse voices, and inspire connection through the power of story.


The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
—John 1:5


WHO WE ARE

We’ve had the honor of receiving submissions from 7 countries and 31 states thus far!

Wandering Lights is an international magazine of literature, art, and photography. We publish issues biannually online.

We are looking for previously unpublished work (simultaneous submissions are okay!) across a variety of genres: poetry, flash fiction, historical fiction, speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, etc.), ekphrastic works, thriller, mystery, creative essays, and more.

Check out our Masthead page to get a better idea about what we believe makes a poem, story, or work of art strong for publication.
