Guidelines for Submission
Painted Bride Quarterly accepts up to 3 poems, fiction up to 5000 words, and essays and reviews up to 3000 words, in any genre or school (occasional exceptions are made).
We will read and consider simultaneous submissions, on the condition that the author notify us immediately by email if the manuscript is accepted for publication elsewhere. You can submit via our Submittable site here. Submitters must also withdraw the submission through the Submittable site. Let us be happy for you rather than angry at you!
If your work appears on a blog, we ask that upon acceptance you:
- Add a line that the work is forthcoming at pbq@drexel.edu.
- Once we publish your piece, please take it down and redirect viewers to our site as that is where the work will now live. (You will receive notice when we put your work up!)
All artwork: photographs, paintings, etchings, lithographs and line drawings are now accepted in black & white and color for publication on our website, and in black & white only for our print annual. If submitting art work for our website, please do so via pbq@drexel.edu. We appreciate photoshop files (psd.), or jpgs; size 1024×768.
