GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Bricolage Literary & Visual Arts Journal only accepts unpublished submissions. If your prose, poetry, or visual artwork has been previously published, we will not consider it for publication. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer compensation at this time. 

  • Contributors retain all rights but are asked to acknowledge Bricolage as first publisher if poems reappear in books or anthologies.

  • We will allow simultaneous submissions, but you must let us know when you submit that the piece is under consideration with multiple publishers. If your piece gets accepted for publication elsewhere, please notify us immediately.

  • We DO NOT accept academic/research papers, critical essays, news articles, or technical documents.

  • All submissions are reviewed anonymously. Please DO NOT include your name anywhere within the document or in its file name. The submission form WILL record your name, which will only be revealed AFTER we have made final decisions.

  • For collaborative projects, it is the responsibility of the submitting writer/artist to obtain permission from each participant prior to submission.

  • PLEASE NOTE: Due to the large number of submissions we receive, we are unable to review any submissions that do not adhere to the following guidelines.
