Editorial Focus
Founded in 1974, Black Warrior Review publishes contemporary fiction, poetry, and nonfiction by award-winning writers alongside work by new and emerging voices. Issues also feature art, comics, and a curated chapbook. Each summer reading period, BWR hosts a contest with guest editors and cash prizes in each genre.
This April (2024) we will accept submissions for the online edition, Boyfriend Village. This year’s theme is More Than One Boyfriend.
Tips From the Editor
BWR only takes online submissions unless you do not have access to a computer/internet. Please visit our website for details.
Before sending, please check our website for features, read interviews with masthead or contest judges, or consider buying an issue! As a graduate-run journal, tastes change every year, so our current calls for submissions are the most up-to-date way to know what our editors are looking for.
