Muscle and Blood Literary Journal
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
This page is for writers and photographers interested in submitting creative works. If you are an author interested in having their full-length book or chapbook reviewed by Muscle & Blood Literary Journal, or if you wish to review for us, please see our new Reviews page.
Send fully-realized works. Simultaneous submissions are OK as long as you tell us if your work is accepted elsewhere. Reprints are considered but we’re unlikely to print them. We are a print magazine and ask for First North American Serial Rights to any work we accept. Query if we don’t respond after two months.
We cannot promise detailed feedback on works we reject, but will try to help as much as possible.
We nominate up to six writers each year for the prestigious Pushcart Prize, and will inform you at the time of nomination.
Queries, questions, etc. can be sent to our Editor-in-Chief, Benjamin C. Krause, at benjamin@muscleandblood.com.
