Editorial focus
Established in 2009, Booth publishes two print issues a year, usually in winter and summer. They invite submissions of art, poetry, prose, audio, lists, and literary comics. The editors welcome submissions by both emerging voices and established writers.
Submitting your work
Writers should approach Booth with polished, original work that demonstrates a clear command of language and a distinctive voice. The editors appreciate narratives that take risks, whether through structure, perspective, or subject matter, but they are equally attentive to the fundamentals of pacing and imagery. Before submitting, read several recent issues to gauge the journal's range; avoid sending work that feels derivative or overly familiar. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify the editors promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Keep cover letters brief and professional, and adhere strictly to the stated word limits and genre guidelines.
Simultaneous submissions are welcomed as long as we are notified immediately if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere. We do not accept multiple submissions, and we do not accept previously published work. We no longer accept submissions by mail.
