We are open to nearly any kind of work with a few provisos: watch the profanity, the blood and guts, the icky details of bodily functions. We’re not the best place for your graphically violent horror stories, your erotica, or your language experiments run amok. As for now, we are not looking for scholarly articles or reviews – but that may change.

Poetry:
Submit up to three previously unpublished poems in one file in an attached word document (.doc). Long poems are ok. Separate poems clearly by titles.

Prose:
Submit up to 5,000 words. Novel excerpts are ok as long as they can stand alone.

Artwork and Photography:
Submit black and white or full color files.

We, like all other magazine editors, are looking for the best, and like all other editors, we’re long on expectation and short on definition. We are looking for the distinctive stamp of a real personality – observing, deliberating – engaging with the sometimes overlooked or inconspicuous aspects of our multifarious world. We are not crazy about language jumbles that blare but don’t amount to much beyond their own noise. But we do like audacity. We’re not particular about style, but we warn you: we lean towards meaning of some sort. We also don’t much like poems about first loves and break ups, unless they transcend their own solipsism and offer something to everyone else. We are wary of the overly arch, overly precious, overly artsy piece, but we’ll take all comers and read for your resonant moments. Just keep in mind: A great line does not a whole poem make.

Today's Post

noreply@blogger.com (2 Bridges Review) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:07:00 +0000

The celebrated East River Bridges (Two Bridges) – the Brooklyn and the Manhattan, connect downtown Brooklyn with downtown Manhattan. Between these bridges a community of writers and artists has found a home in the former warehouses and factories of New York’s most literary outer borough. Like the artists who make it, the art that lives in these narrow streets goes on its nerve, and we, nerved with newness – and just a bit nervy – want to fill our pages with a distinctive, eclectic assortment of work by both unknown & established writers and artists.

Closed to Submissions During August and September.

Writers: please note that we are currently closed to submissions. We will reopen on October 1st. We look forward to reading your work after this date.

How to submit your work

1. We will only accept electronic submissions.
To submit your work:
http://2bridgesreview.submittable.com/submit

2. Your email subject line should indicate the genre (poetry, fiction, nonfiction), your last name, and the number of pieces submitted. (ex. Subject: Poetry Jones Three)

3. Include writer contact info and a brief bio on a cover page.

4. Simultaneous submissions are ok, as long as you let us know right away if your work has been accepted elsewhere.

5. Please don’t send us previously published work.

6. 2BR acquires first-time North American rights. After publication, rights revert to the author and may be reprinted as long as appropriate acknowledgment to 2BR is made. Payment is in copies.

7. We are closed to submissions in August and September. Bear with us: we are a start-up and will be shaped by the work we receive. We intend to take time reading your work and might hold onto it for a bit. We will do all we can to make timely decisions but all of us have full-time academic jobs and are likely to be more measured than hurried in order to avoid being careless. We will get back to you.

8. Like our mothers always told us, “no means no”…. but only for six months. Some of our moms also told us to try and try again. Please do try.
