There are many differences between our annual literary magazine and our Community Anthologies program. For example: Contributors. Our magazine publishes 16-32 people per issue, whereas each anthology publishes seven; Issue vs. Topic. Each magazine issue is tied to a single social issue, like Dangerous Bodies or Rebellious Joy, whereas our anthologies are tied to a single topic, like On Work or On Permanence; Calls. The calls for submissions for our magazine are three-paragraph prompts, which are curated over the course of two months with nine individuals, whereas our anthology calls are 1-paragraph prompts curated over the course of one month between four individuals (though each EIC is responsible for their own call); Editorial experience. Each magazine contributor works closely with two of our TSW editors over the course of four months, whereas anthology contributors work directly with the EIC for that anthology — who is not a part of our TSW editorial team — for two months; Duration. Our magazine issues are always open to the public for at least two months, whereas our anthologies are only open for three weeks, and depending on the anthology, may only be open to specific demographics (queer BIPOC artists, for ex.). You may have noticed the difference is that of scale, intentionally so. We built our community anthologies to be mini, special issues. We wanted to take everything we have done over the past seven years of building a literary publication — our annual editorial calendar, signature editorial process, and so on — and package that into a resource that we can give to those who want to be editors, or in this case, Editors-in-Chief, and curate their own issue. By doing so, The Seventh Wave, as an arts organization, is able to publish almost twice as many people per year: 32 individuals in our annual literary magazine and 28 individuals in our four community anthologies.
