Boulevard strives to publish only the finest in fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. While we frequently publish writers with previous credits, we are very interested in less experienced or unpublished writers with exceptional promise. If you have practiced your craft and your work is the best it can be, send it to Boulevard.

To get a feel for style, content, quality, and form of the work we publish try a sample issue or subscription.

Please do not submit a document edited with track changes. Copy and paste into a new document.

Accepting submissions from November 1 to May 1

• No email submissions will be read.
• There is a $3 fee to submit online; there is no fee to submit by post.
• We allow simultaneous submissions, but please immediately withdraw work that has been accepted elsewhere. 
• We accept multiple submissions, but please wait a reasonable time (at least one month) between entries.
• Authors retain rights to their work from the time of publication in Boulevard.
• Work submitted must be previously unpublished, both in print and online.
• Cover letters with previous credits are not required, though always appreciated. Let us know if this would be your debut publication.
• Our average response time is four months. Please do not query before then.
• Send only complete, fully proofread work. We will not consider revisions--this is too difficult administratively for our small staff.
• Please use a font other than Courier--it hurts our eyes!
