Submission Guidelines

Open submissions are closed until September 1, 2010.

The next issue, 36.1, will be edited by Andrew Schelling, poet, essay writer, and translator, and will include a special portfolio section on translation.

Please submit 1–8 pages of previously unpublished poetry, prose, translation, artwork, interviews, hybrid work or otherwise. Submissions will be considered for the fall and spring issues of Bombay Gin as time and space allows.

For TRANSLATIONS, please include both the original language and English version; it is the writer’s responsibility to receive publication rights for the original piece. 

ARTWORK should be submitted on a CD as a PDF or jpg, with minimum 720DPI; all artwork will be published as grayscale.

Unsolicited manuscripts are read anonymously, so include your name and contact information only on the cover letter. Please include an S.A.S.E. so the board can respond to you once selections have been made.

Bombay Gin no longer accepts electronic submissions.
