Guava is officially one year old this month!

Come celebrate our birthday and the launch of our third issue, with readings from Philippa Ramsden, Nazaret Ranea, Megan Booth and more! It will be one of the fruitiest parties of the summer, so you don't want to miss it.

Who are guava?

guava was born in response to a publishing landscape that was not as diverse as it marketed itself to be. The goal is to accurately reflect today's creative landscape. We aim to highlight and prioritize diverse and up-and-coming creatives.

This magazine has an artist first approach - there is feedback offered for every submission, free submissions, and payment for contributors. Community is at the heart of what we do, which is why each issue is available to read for free on this website.

If you're disabled, queer, BIPOC, or anyone who feels like they haven't had a chance to have their voice heard, then guava is the place for you. We can't wait to meet you.
