Discounts for multiple copies may be negotiated (generally 20% discount for orders of 5 or more). Back issues may be purchased for $8.00 (limited supply).

Submission Guidelines

Windhover is devoted to promoting writers and literature with a Christian perspective. The journal accepts a broad definition of that perspective while remaining committed to its identity as a journal of Christian literature.

The journal accepts unsolicited submissions of poetry, short fiction, non-fiction, and creative non-fiction. Please send no more than four poems per issue. Items longer than 3,000 words (approximately 10 double-spaced pages) are not ordinarily considered.

The editorial team generally reads only during late spring and early summer. Final decisions will be made by August 1st. Please include a stamped postcard for acknowledgement. Manuscripts will be recycled and will not be returned. Manuscripts received after June 1st will be considered for the next annual issue. We do not accept submissions via email.
