Editorial Focus
Blood Tree Literature is a visually compelling home for black sheep art. Dedicated to showcasing evocative writing that takes linguistic risks to push the boundaries of conventional language and genre, we favor lyrical pieces that do not withhold depth or resonance. With that in mind, submit your best, the box under your bed marked UNSHARABLE, the orphan poem, or black sheep fiction. Send your experimentals: be vulnerable, be calculated.
Tips From the Editor
Abusive or derogatory submissions are not allowed—not now, not ever. BTL is a pro-choice, trans-inclusive, anti-AI, antiracist publication.
