The Boiler Journal publishes new and emerging writers on a quarterly basis.
We retain first publication rights. After publication, rights revert back to you. We only ask that you credit us with the first publication, thereafter.
If your piece is accepted elsewhere let us know immediately. Simultaneous submissions are accepted; please be sure to promptly withdraw your piece if it’s accepted elsewhere.
We read year-round. Send us your best stuff. Show us how it does under pressure.
We ask that you place all work in one document with a cover letter and brief bio.
We encourage you to read an issue of journal before submitting!
NO ZIP FILES, please!
