Belletrist Magazine Wants Unforgettable Poetry and Prose
We're coming up short this year, so we've reopened our submission boxes! Belletrist Magazine is looking for submissions in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and art for our upcoming print issue. The editors would like to see work that is delicate and intimate with a hard edge; we gravitate towards work that is tender but can be fierce.
John Updike wrote in the forward to the Best American Short Stories of the Century, "I tried not to select stories because they illustrated a theme or portion of the national experience but because they struck me as lively, beautiful, believable, and, in the human news they brought, important.."
In Updike's words, we want to see the human news on the page.
Past contributors include Anita Felicelli, Khanh Ha, Kelly Cherry, Robert Vivian, Jason Bargueño, Mehdi M.. Kashani, Arlene Naganawa, David Ellis Dickerson, and many more.
We kindly ask you to submit your best work in just one genre. Multiple submissions, and submissions by the same author to multiple categories, are politely declined without review. Thank you for understanding the time and energy it takes to give your work our best attention and consideration. We will respond as soon as we are able to fully consider your work.
For our print issue, we accept prose submissions up to 7,000 words. For our online content, we ask that you submit no more than 1,500 words. We will read up to 5 poems at a time.
Please submit through our Submittable page.
