sneaker wave magazine is dedicated to making an online home for compelling nonfiction storytelling. We publish an issue every Sunday morning, and each issue will feature the work of one writer, one voice, one way of looking at the world.
sneaker wave submissions guidelines
sneaker wave magazine’s mission is to be a leading online home for compelling nonfiction storytelling. If you have written a compelling true story, submit it to us!
This section is our Individual Developmental Edit option. Please submit a NONFICTION story between 2,000 and 4,000 words. You will receive a full story line-level markup by one of our editors.
These pieces WILL NOT be considered for publication at sneaker wave magazine in their current form. After we provide edits, we invite any developmental edit participants to submit their revised story to sneaker wave FOR FREEEE! (Please contact us directly for a link.) However, we also encourage developmental edit participants to send those stories out widely to other nonfiction-centric magazines: venues like River Teeth, Under the Gum Tree, Fourth Genre, Hippocampus, and elsewhere.
This is the individual developmental edit ($150). For a full essay markup with margin notes by three of our editors, select collective developmental edit ($250). All edits are done by the editors on our masthead.
These fees go toward paying our writers and staff.
We look forward to reading your story. Thank you for supporting sneaker wave magazine!
