guava - issue one

Traditional publishing is hard to break into. It's getting better, but still very much set in its ways.

guava is the response to this rigidity. Created by the people, for the people, the goal is to truly reflect the creative landscape of diverse and up-and-coming creatives. 

We wanted to create a home for voices that aren't often highlighted or acknowledged. With that in mind, we publish primarily poetry, but also nonfiction and visual art in our issues. The goal is to uplift - our voices, our stories, our points of view in a tangible way.

If you're disabled, queer, BIPOC, or anyone who feels like they haven't had a chance to have their voice heard, then guava is the place for you. We can't wait to meet you.
