    Spring Issue Release

    Yesterday, our first ever issue of Shield & Seaway was published (woo!) which leaves us looking forward to the Summer issue. Thank you to all our contributors, in particular V Tucci and Calvin Halvorsen, who were kind enough to volunteer their work for this first step in the journey this magazine takes.

    The hope is that the next issue will feature even more pieces, so get writing and I’m looking forward to seeing what people can come up with!

    If you would like to pick up a digital copy of the magazine, you can do so at shieldandseaway.com/shop

  • Submission Deadline Postponed

    Submission Deadline Postponed

    Due to a desire to deepen our submission pool, we have decided to extend the deadline by two weeks. As such, the new deadline for submissions is March 15th at 00:00. Publication is still scheduled for March 20th, however this date may be also pushed back slightly if the magazine production is unable to be completed in 5 days, but that remains the goal.

    The next issue’s theme, however, will still be revealed on March 1st like previously planned to give creators the full allotment of time for their work for the June issue.

  • Inaugural Issue

    Inaugural Issue

    Hello everyone! My name is Joel Mintz, and I am the founder and editor of Shield & Seaway. I am a writer who has always had the ‘do-it-yourself’ mentality, so when it came time for me to start sending my work out to the world, I figured why not put it in my own magazine. So, I got together with fellow creatives to find an audience for ourselves. Thus, Shield & Seaway was born.

    It is with great pleasure that I can announce the theme of this season’s issue:

    Spring

    To the creatives, I look forward to seeing your work. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2025 at 00:00, after which the theme of the next issue will be announced.

    To the readers, The Spring Issue will be released on March 20, 2025. We look forward to telling you some great stories, and hope you’ll come back for every issue!
