#31 - Seeds

Publication September 2025

We are living in a time of great uncertainty. Join us in a hopeful act, planting seeds for new growth through the inspiration of art and literature. For issue #31 (published September 2025), Whitefish Review is teaming up with Land to Hand Montana and the Backpack Assistance Program as we seek art and literary submissions that speak to the hope in a simple seed, a symbol of abundance in a world that often says we don’t have enough. Submissions in fiction, non-fiction, poems, songs, art, and photography are now open through June 1, 2025.

Whitefish Review prides itself on being accessible to the entire community of writers, artists, and readers that we serve. Our nonprofit organization has implemented a $5 administrative fee to help offset, in part, some of the expenses incurred in producing a literary and arts journal. This project is a challenge to pull off, a "doomed, beautiful venture." We still aspire to be as inclusive as possible. If the $5 administrative fee prohibits you from submitting your work, please email editor@whitefishreview.org with a brief explanation of your circumstance and we will waive the fee.
