NOTE: Our fiction and nonfiction submissions are closed for the time being.


Guidelines

Bodega releases digital issues on the first Monday of every month (except January and July) featuring poetry, prose, and occasional interviews by established and emerging writers. We’re here to give you a handful of essential pieces you can digest in one sitting.

We're seeking previously unpublished poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Simultaneous submissions are always ok, and if a piece in your submission gets accepted elsewhere, congratulations! Please let us know by sending us a message via Submittable. Please do not use the "notes" feature--we can't read those. If all of the pieces in your submission get accepted elsewhere, please withdraw your submission.


Note: Every year, we close our submissions for the month of January (we also no longer publish a January issue). Our submissions reopen on February 1st.

Ends on $3.00

Bodega will always be free to read and you will always be able to submit for free. If you'd like to donate $3 with your submission, we'll use it to keep our operations running (and to pay for services like Submittable that make life better for you and us). This will in no way change how we read your submission, but it will be deeply appreciated. Thank you!


Submit up to 3 previously unpublished poems in a single document (3 pages max).  Please only include your bio and personal information in the cover letter area. It should not appear anywhere in your submission or submission title.
