Editorial Focus

Carve, named in honor of Raymond Carver, publishes fiction, poetry, and nonfiction that respects the power of language and craft and elicits genuine emotional truths. The editors also strive to foster a sense of camaraderie among all writers and readers. Carve values the power of good writing—to challenge, heal, educate, disturb, and transform. With its borderless, inclusive, and diverse community, it looks forward to sharing in the empathic spaces that literature creates.

Tips From the Editor

We love work that subverts expectations and surprises—but never in clever, cutesy, or “gotcha” ways. Our tag line is “honest fiction” but this applies to our aesthetic in the poetry and nonfiction we publish too. What is honest fiction? It’s work that reveals emotional truths and moments of grace, catharsis, or transformation.
