Welcome to Goldfinch!
Published annually by Women Who Write, this literary journal highlights the best writing our members have to offer in the areas of poetry, fiction and memoir.
The submission process is open to all members of Women Who Write. Entries are judged through a blind read to level the field. This process gives equal opportunity for new writers and accomplished authors and poets, alike. For new writers, it is a chance to get published for the first time; for those more accomplished, it is an opportunity to add to their portfolio of published works.
Submissions for our 29th edition are currently: CLOSED
Deadline: October 3rd, 2026

We look forward to reading what you write!
