Editorial Focus
Painted Bride Quarterly’s editorial staff is triangulated out of Philadelphia, NYC, and Abu Dhabi, with a community-based process for work. PBQ publishes poems, stories, and nonfiction that represent the individual, with a preference for the clever, irreverent, and urbane. Its authors, both emerging and established, are published in alternating themed and unthemed issues. Founded in 1973 at the Painted Bride Arts Center in Philadelphia, PBQ is currently housed at Drexel University.
