We are an independent literary book publisher whose goal is to simply present to you the best literature possible by both emerging and established creative minds. All work chosen for publication is from our slush pile and not agented work, so please send us what you've been working on. We'd love to read your fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.  Carefully review our IOE manuscript genre guidelines before submitting.

Our mission is to perpetuate the work of artists both well known and yet-to-be-known, simultaneously enriching our world through the written word.   We strive to reflect diversity in style, content and perspective throughout poetry and prose. 

As both journal (West Trade Review) and press (Iron Oak Editions) we are committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and want to hear from underrepresented voices of all types (cis and trans women, gender non-conforming, agender, non-binary, genderqueer, those who are two-spirit, people with disabilities, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+). 

We are open for submissions year round.

Any submission that does not meet both the General Submission Guidelines and Genre Specific Submission Guidelines will not be considered.

General Formatting Guidelines

• All submissions should be in Times New Roman, 12pt font, double spaced, one-inch margins.
• Please include page numbers.
• We can only consider work written in English, but welcome British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English in addition to American English.
