Thank you for your interest in publishing work with The Bluebird Word. We launched in February 2022 as an online journal that publishes poems, flash essays and flash fiction. We welcome submissions year-round. We publish monthly compilations of new writing which are featured throughout the month. New work is posted frequently, averaging three to four times a week.
We use Submittable for submissions and are charging a nominal fee to cover those administrative costs. Please check Submittable for open calls.
What we are looking for
We are especially interested in supporting and showcasing work from new and emerging writers (emerging defined as writers with fewer than five publications across all genres). That said, we seek submissions from writers across all cultural backgrounds and experience levels. Anyone is free to submit to us! Poetry – up to three (3) poems per submission
Flash nonfiction – up to 1,000 words
Flash fiction – up to 1,000 words
What we accept
Almost any topic is game. We seek writing that tells a unique story and lets the reader reflect and linger.
At this time, submissions must be in English. All submissions must be new writing.
What we do not accept
All voices are welcome. And while we read almost any topic, The Bluebird Word will not tolerate writing which fosters or promotes discrimination, hatred or violence.
We do not accept previously published work (i.e. from other online or print publications, personal blogs, websites or social media).
How to submit
To submit to The Bluebird Word, please use Submittable. Please submit to only one category at a time. In Submittable, attach your submission (.doc or .docx) within the form. We highly recommend .doc or .docx to ensure proper formatting.
Please include a short (50 words max) third-person bio along with your work.
Simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere as soon as possible.
Once you hear back from us on your submission, please wait 45 days before submitting new writing.
