Editorial Focus

The Brooklyn Review is looking for urgent, atmospheric narratives; deeply inhabited characters; formal invention; precision of language; self-aware humor; and generally polished, thoughtful stories. Please send us only your best work.

Tips From the Editor

The Brooklyn Review has scheduled reading periods for fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, but visual arts submissions are open year-round. Please submit only one work per reading period in any given genre, and please submit only original, previously unpublished works. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please let them know if your work is accepted elsewhere.
