Wasafiri encourages readers and writers to travel the world via the word. Since 1984 the magazine has been publishing the best international contemporary writing from a diverse range of cultures across the UK and beyond. Wasafiri challenges established literary canons by creating a unique space for distinctive new work that transcends borders and labels. The dynamic, fresh writing we feature stimulates cross-cultural dialogues, which are brought to life through innovative live events. Wasafiri is well known for finding ‘the best of tomorrow's writers today', whilst simultaneously celebrating those who have gone on to become global literary voices. The magazinepublishes literary articles, interviews, creative writing, reviews and illustrated essays on the visual arts in both general and Special Issues. We welcome original submissions from new and established voices from all cultural backgrounds, which are peer-reviewed prior to acceptance. We are particularly keen to receive lively essays on recent work by contemporary writers or interviews with them. We are also open to proposals for Special Issues of the magazine.
