Call for Submissions about the Adirondacks: Blueline

Blueline seeks poems, stories and essays about the Adirondacks and regions similar in geography and spirit, focusing on nature's shaping influence. We also welcome creative nonfiction that interprets the literature or culture of the region, including northern New York, New England and Eastern Canada.

Blueline publishes both new and established writers in every issue. You’ll catch our attention if your writing is vigorous, interesting, and polished. We’re not interested in effusive descriptions of scenery. The poetry we choose conveys in original ways how language transforms experience instead of just depicting it or simply recording it. The stories and essays we choose are always realistic and dynamic narratives about nature and our relationships to it. If writers are unfamiliar with Blueline, we encourage them to purchase back copies to discover the span of writing we publish each year.

Submission period for writing and/or art is July 1 through November 30. 

Decisions by mid-February.  

Payment in copies. 

No previously published works. Simultaneous submissions accepted if identified as such: notify the editors immediately if a simultaneous submission is placed elsewhere.

Send manuscripts to:
Blueline
120 Morey Hall, SUNY Potsdam
Potsdam, NY 13676

Electronic submissions are encouraged as Word .docx attachments sent via email. When emailing attachments, please identify the genre of the work in the subject line. Send them and any questions to:
