Publisher’s description: Founded in 2009, West Trade Review is based out of Charlotte, NC.

Our goal is to simply present to you the best art possible by both emerging and established creative minds.

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+).

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 fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry.
