SWWIM publishes, promotes, and celebrates women writers, trans and cis women, nonbinary, intersex, and other gender-expansive communities, with a year-round reading series held at The Betsy-South Beach in Miami Beach, FL, and the online poetry journal SWWIM Every Day.

NELLE celebrates and publishes the best, most innovative writing by women.
