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.

Tips From the Editor

BWR only takes online submissions. 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.
