Broken Tribe Press — Submissions

Overview
Broken Tribe Press operates as a literary magazine with an ongoing, rolling submission window. This structure suggests an editorial stance that prioritizes continuous engagement with new work over the pressures of a fixed reading period. For writers, it offers the rare advantage of submitting when the work is ready, rather than according to an external calendar. The press does not disclose submission fees or prize offerings in the available information. What is clear is the genre scope: fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. This triangulation indicates a broad literary sensibility, one that may value the essay as much as the short story, the lyric as much as the narrative. The absence of a stated theme or constraint implies that the editors are open to a range of voices and forms within those categories. Because the guidelines and description are not provided, the curatorial vision remains opaque. This is not unusual for independent literary ventures, which often let the published work speak for itself. Writers should approach the submission as an opportunity to introduce their work to an editorial team that has chosen a rolling model—one that typically signals a desire for sustained reading and a resistance to the seasonal gatekeeping of traditional literary journals.
