The Wake Review Literary Magazine logo.

As Wake Tech’s only student literary and artistic publication, the mission of the Wake Review is to provide a creative outlet for the students, faculty, and staff of Wake Technical Community College. At the Wake Review, they believe Wake Tech should always have a place for its creative voice.

The magazine accepts content in the following categories: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photography, and multimedia art. Short stories, essays, poems, screenplays, pictures, sketches, paintings, computer design images, videos, music–you name it, they likely accept it! There are cash prizes for the winning submissions in each category (1st place: $60, 2nd place: $30, and 3rd place: $15). If you would like to submit your own work for consideration, see their Submission Rules page for more information.
