Word Hoard is an interdisciplinary journal of the arts, literature, and humanities. Affiliated with the Department of English and Writing Studies at Western University, it exists to publish the work of artists and scholars at all levels. Our editorial strategy aims to create dialogue: after selecting which submitted essays and creative works will comprise our next issue, we solicit a response for
each piece from an established or emerging artist, critic, or scholar. Submissions and responses are then published side-by-side in the issue, where they reinforce, challenge, and supplement one another. Past submission and response forms have included scholarly and personal essay, interview, creative non-fiction, fiction, and poetry—but our editorial board is eager to include new genres, especially those taking advantage of our digital format. The Word Hoard publishes annually. Currently, Word Hoard has three editors-in-chief: Meghan O'Hara (Managing), Andy Verboom (Content), and Emily Kring (Copy). In addition, members of the University of Western Ontario graduate community help to peer review, copy edit, and write responsive content for the journal. If you'd like to get involved, or if you're curious about what we're up to presently, feel free to send us an email at [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you.
