Downtown
Brooklyn: a Journal of Writing is the literary magazine
of the English Department at the Brooklyn Campus of Long Island
University. A new issue appears each fall semester. The editorial
staff accepts new submissions from September 1 until February
1.
We accept submissions of poetry &/or fiction &/or
creative non-fiction. Please be selective & limit your
submission to ten, single-spaced pages or the equivalent.
Include
a cover page listing your phone & e-mail & detailing
your connection to the Brooklyn Campus. We accept submissions
only from students, faculty & staff at the Brooklyn Campus.
This includes alumni, as well as persons formerly employed
in any capacity at the Brooklyn Campus. Submissions are also
welcome from Visiting Writers who teach in the Creative
Writing MFA program and from writers who come to campus
as part of the English Department's Voices
of the Rainbow Reading Series.
Save
your submission as a Word document and attach to an e-mail
to Wayne Berninger.
Or save on CD & place in Wayne Berninger's mailbox in
the English Department (Humanities Building, fourth floor).
We cannot return electronic files, CDs, or manuscripts, so
please be sure to keep a copy of your submission.
You
will receive confirmation by e-mail that we received your
work. We will then notify as to acceptance on a rolling basis.
Watch

Longest Island) for the next call for submissions;
