The Cactus Wren Review's Inaugural Issue

The Cactus Wren Review is an exciting new literary journal dedicated to expanding the influence of outstanding literature, both from and beyond Arizona. We eagerly embrace the opportunity to showcase poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and visual art. Our publication will be available in both electronic and print formats, and we aspire to release issues three times a year.

A contribution of $1000 would be instrumental in covering the production costs of our inaugural publication. Furthermore, it would allow us to provide a modest payment to each of our talented contributing writers. We are unwavering in our commitment to compensating our writers fairly, acknowledging the value of their time and effort. The majority of any donated funds will be allocated to this purpose.

While we anticipate that future issues may be sustained through the sales of preceding ones, it's essential to note that our debut edition currently relies on funding from our editor's public school teaching salary, which, admittedly, is not enormous. Your support will play a pivotal role in helping us achieve our mission and elevate the literary landscape.
