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We're seeking previously unpublished poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.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)
