The Bridge publishes the best fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual art by current undergraduate and graduate students at Bridgewater State University, as well as work by alumni.
The staff of Volume 23 will review submissions from September 19th until December 12th. We will try to respond within three months. We accept simultaneous submissions, as long as you notify us if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere: thebridgejournal@bridgew.edu
GUIDELINES BY SUBMISSION TYPE:
Each submission is read by our editorial staff and thoroughly reviewed before finalists are chosen for publication in the journal. We aim to publish a variety of high-quality, thoughtful works of art while representing BSU’s diverse community.
If your work is selected for publication, we ask for your permission to feature your work in print, as well as on our website. We claim first publication rights only, after which all rights revert to the writer.
All work published in The Bridge is eligible for our annual Bridge Awards, which honor exceptional work with a monetary prize of $150, $100, or $75.
