We are the always-independent platform for thinkers and writers of caliber.

We are an honest representation of our contributors’ – and thus society’s – time, place and spirit.

We are unafraid to say no, to say yes. Unafraid of change.

We are authentic.

We are optimistic.

At the heart of Waystation is our unwavering commitment to spotlighting new voices and encouraging writers to be themselves. We believe in the transformative power of fresh perspectives and in the vibrancy they bring to the literary landscape.

By providing a space where new talent can flourish, we not only contribute to today’s literary discourse but also help shape tomorrow's. Waystation is more than a journal; It's a community that recognizes and celebrates the unique contributions of its members. Whether you are a first-time published writer, a seasoned author seeking new audiences, or a reader looking to explore new content, you are part of the Waystation community.

The team

Waystation is supported by an amazing network of dozens of volunteer editors, writers, and publicists.
