About the magazine
The Bombay Literary Magazine is an online journal founded in 2013, dedicated to publishing poetry, fiction, and translation from South Asia and its diaspora. From its inception, it has sought to provide a discerning platform for voices that are often marginalized in mainstream literary circuits, emphasizing craft, risk, and linguistic diversity. The magazine operates without a fixed physical location, leveraging digital space to foster a transnational community of readers and writers. Its core mission is to curate work that engages deeply with contemporary realities while remaining attentive to the formal possibilities of language.
Submitting your work
Reading periodVaries
Writers should familiarize themselves with the magazine's aesthetic by reading several recent issues before submitting. The editors value work that demonstrates a strong sense of voice, structural awareness, and cultural specificity without resorting to exoticism. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief cover letter with your publication history, if any, and ensure your submission follows the stated guidelines for length and format. Response times can vary, so patience is advised.
