Bellevue Literary Review occupies a distinct position among literary journals: it is housed within the Department of Medicine at NYU Langone Health, and its editorial mission is to examine the intersections of medicine, health, and human experience through literature. The journal publishes fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that engage illness, healing, the body, and the clinical encounter—not as clinical case studies, but as literary art. This submission portal is reserved for current subscribers, a structure that reflects the journal's nonprofit model and its reliance on a readership that participates materially in the enterprise. The no-fee status of this portal is not a promotional gesture but a considered acknowledgment: subscribing is itself a form of support, and the journal waives the submission fee in recognition of that support. Writers who are not subscribers may submit through the General Submissions category or the Subscribe + Submit category. The journal also states that it will consider fee waivers on request, and that reduced-fee contest entry may be available when the BLR Prizes are open. These provisions indicate an institutional awareness of the economic barriers that shape access to literary publishing. What the journal offers is review by an editorial team embedded in a medical humanities context, with a readership that includes clinicians, patients, and writers attentive to the literature of the body and its vulnerabilities. The submission guidelines are specific: no more than two active submissions at a time, and this portal accepts only general or theme issue submissions—contest entries, when open, must be submitted through their own category. The deadline of January 1, 2027, provides a defined window, though the journal's rolling review practices should be confirmed against its current guidelines.
