At The Seventh Wave, we believe an editor’s true role is to educate.

It’s our goal with WAVES to equip classrooms, students, and instructors with the requisite tools to discuss, dissect, and express complex experiences and social issues. Because form matters. Writing is rough because of the drafts. And there is no progress without process.

We are not certified teachers, but we have taught. Curiosity is our faculty. With every piece we publish, we ask ourselves: What does this say that hasn’t been said, and does it give space for a response? What role does nuance play in this conversation? How do we broach the complexity of social issues without doing each other injustice? And how do we, as editors or educators, talk politics without silencing perspectives, or trending toward a majority?

The Seventh Wave has always been a synthesis. While our staff brings together 10+ years of experience in journalism, youth mentorship, and teaching, our community of 180+ published voices span every single industry. WAVES brings our contributors and their work to the forefront of classroom conversations. While we’re happy to drop in on a class (virtually these days), we’re also open to working with your school for an extended period (we have packaged each issue for classroom use via plug-and-play digital lessons that combine the pieces we publish with words on craft from our contributors).

We offer several different educational and editorial opportunities. Feel free to choose one or combine a couple. The cost of our educational services vary depending on your needs. While we’re always eager to work with your students, you should also consider bringing us in for a professional development day or career day to talk with students about how to make your way in the world as a writer.  

Be in touch, fearless leaders!
